AMD Ryzen 3 5300U vs Intel Xeon E5-2650

Ryzen 3 5300U vs Xeon E5-2650 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 5300U beats the Xeon E5-2650 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2650 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2650 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 5300U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2650 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 5300U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 5300U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 3 5300U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2650. Also, the Ryzen 3 5300U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 5300U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 5300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
