Ryzen 5 2500U vs Xeon E5-620 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 2500U performs better than the Xeon E5-620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-620 in all gaming tests too.

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 Xeon E5-620 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 2500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 2500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2500U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-620 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 2500U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-620. The Ryzen 5 2500U also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 2500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
