Ryzen 7 3700U vs Xeon E3-1231 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1231 v3 is faster than the Ryzen 7 3700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 3700U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount 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 3700U. A Ryzen 7 3700U 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.

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 7 3700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
