Ryzen 3 4300GE vs Xeon E5-2643 v2 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2643 v2 beats the Ryzen 3 4300GE in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 4300GE has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2643 v2 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 4300GE that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 4300GE. In terms of clock speed, the Ryzen 3 4300GE and Xeon E5-2643 v2 are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 4300GE has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 4300GE CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2643 v2 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 4300GE has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
