Ryzen 5 5500U vs Xeon E5-2673 v3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2673 v3 performs better than the Ryzen 5 5500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2673 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 5500U has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500U. A Ryzen 5 5500U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2673 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 5500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
