Ryzen 3 1300X vs Xeon E3-1245 v5 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E3-1245 v5 performs better than the Ryzen 3 1300X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 1300X in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 1300X. Also, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 1300X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1245 v5 CPU because of its slightly 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 3 1300X has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. 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.
