Xeon E5-2696 v3 vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D performs better than the Xeon E5-2696 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2696 v3 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2696 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 cores whereas the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2696 v3 thanks to a slightly 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 E5-2696 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
