AMD Ryzen Z1 vs Intel Xeon E5-2687W v4

Ryzen Z1 vs Xeon E5-2687W v4 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2687W v4 beats the Ryzen Z1 in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen Z1 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2687W v4 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen Z1 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen Z1. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen Z1 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2687W v4. Also, the Ryzen Z1 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen Z1 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen Z1 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-2687W v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W v4 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen Z1.

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 Z1 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
