Ryzen 5 4600U vs Xeon E5-2640 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 is faster than the Ryzen 5 4600U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 4600U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 4600U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 4600U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 4600U. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 4600U. A Ryzen 5 4600U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2640 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.
