AMD Ryzen 3 3300X vs Intel Xeon X5670

Ryzen 3 3300X vs Xeon X5670 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 3300X performs better than the Xeon X5670. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5670 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon X5670 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 3300X. Indeed, the Xeon X5670 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 3300X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 3300X. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X5670. Also, the Ryzen 3 3300X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 3300X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5670 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 Ryzen 3 3300X has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon X5670. The Ryzen 3 3300X also has slightly 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3300X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
