Ryzen 3 1200 vs Xeon E5-1603 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 1200 beats the Xeon E5-1603 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1603 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. A Ryzen 3 1200 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1603 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
