Ryzen Threadripper 1900X vs Xeon E5-2670 v3 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X performs better than the Xeon E5-2670 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2670 v3. The Xeon E5-2670 v3 outputs less heat than Ryzen Threadripper 1900X thanks to a significantly 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 Threadripper 1900X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
