Ryzen 3 2200G vs Xeon E5-2420 v2 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 2200G beats the Xeon E5-2420 v2 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2420 v2 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2420 v2 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 2200G. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2420 v2 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 2200G. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 2200G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 2200G has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2420 v2. Also, the Ryzen 3 2200G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2200G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2420 v2 CPU because of its slightly 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 2200G has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
