Xeon E5-2690 v4 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2690 v4 performs better than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2690 v4. Also, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 3700 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2690 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 E5-2690 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
