Ryzen 3 2300U vs Xeon X5687 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 2300U performs better than the Xeon X5687. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5687 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5687 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2300U. Also, the Xeon X5687 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5687 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 3 2300U has more L2 cache than the Xeon X5687. Despite this, the Xeon X5687 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.
