Ryzen 3 2200U vs Xeon E5-2420 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2420 performs better than the Ryzen 3 2200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2200U in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2420 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 2200U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 2200U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2200U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2420. Also, the Ryzen 3 2200U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2200U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2420 CPU because of its significantly 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
