Ryzen 3 2300U vs Xeon E3-1240 V2 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E3-1240 V2 performs better than the Ryzen 3 2300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 2300U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E3-1240 V2 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1240 V2 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 2300U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E3-1240 V2. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1240 V2 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U.

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.
