Ryzen 5 3550H vs Xeon E5-2670 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3550H performs better than the Xeon E5-2670. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2670 has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 3550H has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3550H. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2670 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 3550H. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3550H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3550H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2670 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.
