AMD Ryzen 3 3250U vs Intel Xeon E5-450

Ryzen 3 3250U vs Xeon E5-450 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 3250U beats the Xeon E5-450 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-450 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-450 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 3250U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-450 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Ryzen 3 3250U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-450 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3250U. A Ryzen 3 3250U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-450 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Xeon E5-450 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 3 3250U

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
