Xeon E5-2667 v4 vs Ryzen 5 5600 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5600 performs better than the Xeon E5-2667 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2667 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2667 v4 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2667 v4. Also, the Ryzen 5 5600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5600 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2667 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 E5-2667 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
