AMD Ryzen 5 5560U vs Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4

Ryzen 5 5560U vs Xeon E5-2660 v4 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 beats the Ryzen 5 5560U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5560U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5560U that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5560U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5560U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v4. Also, the Ryzen 5 5560U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 5560U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has slightly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 5 5560U. The Xeon E5-2660 v4 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 5560U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
