Ryzen 3 1300X vs Xeon E3-1245 V2 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E3-1245 V2 performs better than the Ryzen 3 1300X. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 1300X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E3-1245 V2 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 1300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1245 V2. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 1300X has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1245 V2. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
