Ryzen 5 3500 vs Xeon E5-2690 comparison
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3500 beats the Xeon E5-2690 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2690 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2690 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3500 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2690. A Ryzen 5 3500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 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.
