AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs Intel Xeon E5-2697A v4

Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs Xeon E5-2697A v4 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D performs better than the Xeon E5-2697A v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2697A v4 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has 16 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2697A v4. Also, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2697A 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 data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
