Ryzen 3 4300G vs Xeon E5-2660 v3 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2660 v3 beats the Ryzen 3 4300G in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 4300G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 4300G. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has 10 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 4300G. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 4300G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 4300G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v3. A Ryzen 3 4300G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 v3 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 4300G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
