Xeon E5-1650 v3 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1650 v3 performs better than the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Xeon E5-1650 v3 has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-1650 v3. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1650 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1650 v3 thanks to a significantly 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 Xeon E5-1650 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
