Ryzen 5 3500U vs Xeon E5-1603 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3500U is faster than the Xeon E5-1603 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1603 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 3500U has more threads. A Ryzen 5 3500U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1603 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 3500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
