AMD Ryzen 3 3250U vs Intel Xeon X5450

Ryzen 3 3250U vs Xeon X5450 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon X5450 performs better than the Ryzen 3 3250U. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3250U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon X5450 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 3250U. Indeed, the Xeon X5450 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Ryzen 3 3250U. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5450 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 3250U. A Ryzen 3 3250U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5450 CPU because of its significantly 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 Xeon X5450 has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 3 3250U

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 3250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
