Ryzen 5 4500U vs Xeon E3-1270 v6 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 beats the Ryzen 5 4500U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4500U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 4500U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1270 v6 that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1270 v6 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4500U. Also, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1270 v6 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 4500U has more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1270 v6. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 5 4500U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
