Xeon E5-1660 v4 vs Ryzen 5 7430U specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 7430U performs better than the Xeon E5-1660 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1660 v4 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 7430U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 7430U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7430U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 7430U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7430U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7430U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1660 v4 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 E5-1660 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
