AMD Ryzen 5 2400G vs Intel Xeon E5-2690

Ryzen 5 2400G vs Xeon E5-2690 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2690 beats the Ryzen 5 2400G in overall performance. 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 E5-2690 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 2400G. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 5 2400G. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 2400G. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 2400G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2690. Also, the Ryzen 5 2400G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2400G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 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.
