AMD Ryzen 5 4600U vs Intel Xeon E5-1650 v3

Ryzen 5 4600U vs Xeon E5-1650 v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1650 v3 beats the Ryzen 5 4600U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 4600U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 4600U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 4600U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 4600U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1650 v3 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 4600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
