AMD Ryzen 5 3350G vs Intel Xeon E5-2650 v2

Ryzen 5 3350G vs Xeon E5-2650 v2 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2650 v2 beats the Ryzen 5 3350G in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3350G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2650 v2 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3350G that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3350G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3350G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2650 v2. A Ryzen 5 3350G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 v2 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 3350G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
