Ryzen 5 3500U vs Xeon E5-1620 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1620 beats the Ryzen 5 3500U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3500U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1620 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3500U. Also, the Xeon E5-1620 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3500U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1620 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
