Ryzen 5 4500U vs Xeon E5-2660 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 4500U is faster than the Xeon E5-2660. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2660 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 4500U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 4500U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4500U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660. A Ryzen 5 4500U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 5 4500U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
