Ryzen 7 2700U vs Xeon E3-1231 v3 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1231 v3 beats the Ryzen 7 2700U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 2700U 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 E3-1231 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 2700U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 7 2700U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1231 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.
