Ryzen 3 3100 vs Xeon E5-2689 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2689 is faster than the Ryzen 3 3100. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2689 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 3100. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2689 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 3100. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 3100. A Ryzen 3 3100 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2689 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
