Xeon E5-2687W v4 vs Ryzen 5 7600X3D benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 7600X3D performs better than the Xeon E5-2687W v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2687W v4 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 7600X3D that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7600X3D. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 7600X3D has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2687W v4. Also, the Ryzen 5 7600X3D has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7600X3D outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2687W 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 5 7600X3D has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-2687W v4. The Ryzen 5 7600X3D also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 E5-2687W v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
