Xeon E5-2683 v4 vs Ryzen 5 5500 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2683 v4 performs better than the Ryzen 5 5500. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2683 v4 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 5500. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2683 v4 has 16 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 5500. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2683 v4. Also, the Ryzen 5 5500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5500 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2683 v4 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 E5-2683 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
