Ryzen 5 3500 vs Xeon E5-1650 v4 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 beats the Ryzen 5 3500 in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has more threads. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 3500 and Xeon E5-1650 v4 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1650 v4 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. For instance, the Ryzen 5 3500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
