Ryzen Threadripper 1900X vs Xeon E5-2673 v4 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2673 v4 performs better than the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X. Despite this, the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2673 v4 has significantly more cores with 20 cores compared to the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X. The Xeon E5-2673 v4 outputs less heat than Ryzen Threadripper 1900X thanks to a 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 Threadripper 1900X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
