AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U vs Intel Xeon X5650

Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U vs Xeon X5650 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U beats the Xeon X5650 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5650 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5650 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5650 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 Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon X5650. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U also has slightly 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 5650U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
