Ryzen Threadripper 1920X vs Xeon E5-2697A v4 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X is faster 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.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has slightly more cores with 16 cores whereas the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X has 12 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2697A v4. Also, the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2697A v4 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2697A v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X.

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 1920X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
