Ryzen 3 2300U vs Xeon E3-1226 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 is faster than the Ryzen 3 2300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2300U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U. Also, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1226 v3 CPU because of its significantly 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 2300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
