Xeon E5-2696 v3 vs Ryzen 7 5700X3D specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D beats the Xeon E5-2696 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2696 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2696 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 5700X3D that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 5700X3D.

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 E5-2696 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
