Ryzen 7 2700U vs Xeon E5-1620 v2 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1620 v2 is faster than the Ryzen 7 2700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 2700U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1620 v2 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 2700U. Also, the Xeon E5-1620 v2 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 2700U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1620 v2 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 2700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
