AMD Ryzen 5 3350GE vs Intel Xeon E5-2689

Ryzen 5 3350GE vs Xeon E5-2689 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2689 beats the Ryzen 5 3350GE in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3350GE in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2689 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3350GE that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3350GE. A Ryzen 5 3350GE CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2689 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 3350GE has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
