Ryzen 5 3500X vs Xeon E5-1650 v4 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1650 v4 performs better than the Ryzen 5 3500X. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has more threads. Both the Ryzen 5 3500X and Xeon E5-1650 v4 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3500X 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 5 3500X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
