Ryzen Threadripper 1920X vs Xeon E5-2696 v3 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2696 v3 performs better than the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X. Despite this, the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2696 v3 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2696 v3 has 18 cores compared to 12 cores found in the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X. The Xeon E5-2696 v3 outputs less heat than Ryzen Threadripper 1920X 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 1920X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
