Xeon E5-2697A v4 vs Ryzen AI 7 350 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 beats the Ryzen AI 7 350 in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen AI 7 350 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Ryzen AI 7 350 that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen AI 7 350. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen AI 7 350. Despite this, the Ryzen AI 7 350 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen AI 7 350 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen AI 7 350 has significantly 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 AI 7 350.

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.
