Ryzen 5 3500 vs Xeon W-2125 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3500 is faster than the Xeon W-2125. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-2125 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 3500 has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-2125. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon W-2125. Despite this, the Xeon W-2125 has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3500. A Ryzen 5 3500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2125 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. For instance, the Ryzen 5 3500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
