Ryzen 5 2400G vs Xeon E5-2678 v3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2678 v3 performs better than the Ryzen 5 2400G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 2400G in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2678 v3 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 2400G. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2678 v3 has 12 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 5 2400G. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 2400G. A Ryzen 5 2400G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2678 v3 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 5 2400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
