Xeon E5-2667 v4 vs Ryzen 7 5700X benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5700X beats the Xeon E5-2667 v4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2667 v4 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2667 v4. Also, the Ryzen 7 5700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 5700X 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.
