Ryzen 5 2400G vs Xeon E5-2660 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2660 v3 beats the Ryzen 5 2400G in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 2400G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 2400G that 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 slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2660 v3. Also, the Ryzen 5 2400G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2400G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 v3 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 5 2400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
