AMD Ryzen 5 3550H vs Intel Xeon E5-2680 v2

Ryzen 5 3550H vs Xeon E5-2680 v2 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2680 v2 performs better than the Ryzen 5 3550H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3550H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2680 v2 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 3550H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2680 v2 has 10 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 5 3550H. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3550H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2680 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to 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 E5-2680 v2 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.
