Ryzen 5 2400G vs Xeon E3-1245 v5 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 2400G beats the Xeon E3-1245 v5 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 2400G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 5 2400G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1245 v5 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 2400G has more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 2400G.

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 5 2400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
