Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 vs Xeon E3-1505M v6 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 performs better than the Xeon E3-1505M v6. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1505M v6 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1505M v6. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1505M v6 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E3-1505M v6 outputs less heat than Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 thanks to a 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 Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1505M v6. The Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
