Ryzen 3 1200 vs Xeon E5-1650 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1650 is faster than the Ryzen 3 1200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 1200 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-1650 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 1200 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 1200. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1650 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 1200. Also, the Xeon E5-1650 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 1200 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1650 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
