Ryzen 3 1300X vs Xeon E5-2630 v2 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2630 v2 is faster than the Ryzen 3 1300X. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 1300X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2630 v2 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 1300X has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 1300X. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 1300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v2. Also, the Ryzen 3 1300X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 1300X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2630 v2 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
