Ryzen 5 4600G vs Xeon E5-2650 v4 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 4600G beats the Xeon E5-2650 v4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2650 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2650 v4 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 4600G that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4600G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 4600G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2650 v4. Also, the Ryzen 5 4600G has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 4600G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 v4 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 4600G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
