Ryzen 5 2400G vs Xeon E5-2620 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 is faster than the Ryzen 5 2400G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 2400G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 2400G has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 2400G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 2400G has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Also, the Ryzen 5 2400G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2400G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPU because of its slightly 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 5 2400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
