Ryzen 7 2700U vs Xeon E3-1230 v3 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E3-1230 v3 performs better than the Ryzen 7 2700U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 2700U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1230 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 2700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 2700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 2700U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1230 v3 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 7 2700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
