Ryzen 5 5600U vs Xeon E5-1680 v2 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 5600U is faster than the Xeon E5-1680 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1680 v2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-1680 v2 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5600U that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5600U. A Ryzen 5 5600U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1680 v2 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 5600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
