Ryzen 3 2300X vs Xeon E5-620 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 2300X is faster than the Xeon E5-620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-620 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-620 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 2300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-620. Also, the Ryzen 3 2300X has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2300X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-620 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2300X has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-620. The Ryzen 3 2300X also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 2300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
