Xeon E5-2640 v4 vs Ryzen 5 4500 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 4500 is faster than the Xeon E5-2640 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2640 v4 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 4500 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2640 v4. Also, the Ryzen 5 4500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 4500 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2640 v4 thanks to a slightly 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 E5-2640 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
