Ryzen 5 3400G vs Xeon E5-1650 v3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1650 v3 performs better than the Ryzen 5 3400G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3400G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-1650 v3 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3400G that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3400G. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3400G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-1650 v3. Also, the Ryzen 5 3400G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3400G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1650 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 3400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
