Ryzen 3 4300U vs Xeon E5-2640 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 4300U is faster than the Xeon E5-2640. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 4300U has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 4300U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 4300U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2640. Also, the Ryzen 3 4300U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 4300U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2640 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 Ryzen 3 4300U has slightly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2640. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 3 4300U.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 3 4300U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
