Ryzen 5 3550H vs Xeon E3-1230 v3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3550H performs better than the Xeon E3-1230 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1230 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1230 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 5 3550H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1230 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 3550H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
