Ryzen 5 4600U vs Xeon E5-1660 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1660 performs better than the Ryzen 5 4600U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 4600U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-1660 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 E5-1660 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.
