Ryzen 5 3450U vs Xeon E3-1240 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1240 v3 beats the Ryzen 5 3450U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3450U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1240 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3450U. Also, the Xeon E3-1240 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3450U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1240 v3 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 3450U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
