Xeon E5-2697A v4 vs Ryzen 7 7840U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 7840U is faster than the Xeon E5-2697A v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2697A v4 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has significantly more cores with 16 cores whereas the Ryzen 7 7840U has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 7840U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 7840U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2697A v4. Also, the Ryzen 7 7840U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 7840U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2697A v4 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 7840U has more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2697A v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 7840U.

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 E5-2697A v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
