Ryzen 9 3900X vs Xeon E5-2680 v4 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 9 3900X performs better than the Xeon E5-2680 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2680 v4 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2680 v4 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 9 3900X. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2680 v4 has 14 cores compared to 12 cores found in the Ryzen 9 3900X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 9 3900X. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 9 3900X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2680 v4. Also, the Ryzen 9 3900X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 3900X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2680 v4 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 9 3900X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
