Ryzen 7 5800X vs Xeon E5-2673 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5800X is faster than the Xeon E5-2673 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2673 v3 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2673 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Ryzen 7 5800X has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 5800X. A Ryzen 7 5800X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2673 v3 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
