Intel Xeon E5-2470 v2 vs AMD Ryzen Z1

Xeon E5-2470 v2 vs Ryzen Z1 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen Z1 performs better than the Xeon E5-2470 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2470 v2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2470 v2 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen Z1 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen Z1. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen Z1 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2470 v2. Also, the Ryzen Z1 has a significantly higher turbo speed.

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 Xeon E5-2470 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
