Ryzen 7 5800X vs Xeon E5-2690 v4 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5800X is faster than the Xeon E5-2690 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2690 v4 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 5800X. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has 14 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 5800X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 5800X. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 5800X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2690 v4. Also, the Ryzen 7 5800X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
