Ryzen 3 3300X vs Xeon E5-2630 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2630 v3 is faster than the Ryzen 3 3300X. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 3300X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 3300X that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 3300X. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 3300X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2630 v3. Also, the Ryzen 3 3300X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3300X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 3300X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
