Xeon E5-2660 v4 vs Ryzen AI 5 340 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen AI 5 340 beats the Xeon E5-2660 v4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Ryzen AI 5 340 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen AI 5 340. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen AI 5 340. Despite this, the Ryzen AI 5 340 has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen AI 5 340 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2660 v4 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen AI 5 340 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen AI 5 340.

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 E5-2660 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
