Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2630 v3 performs better than the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v3. Also, the Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 7 PRO 1700X CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
