AMD Ryzen 3 2200U vs Intel Xeon W3520

Ryzen 3 2200U vs Xeon W3520 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W3520 beats the Ryzen 3 2200U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 2200U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W3520 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 2200U. Indeed, the Xeon W3520 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Ryzen 3 2200U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W3520 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2200U. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 2200U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2200U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3520 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Xeon W3520 also has significantly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
