Ryzen 7 3700U vs Xeon E3-1270 V2 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 3700U beats the Xeon E3-1270 V2 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1270 V2 in all gaming tests too.

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 E3-1270 V2 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 3700U. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 7 3700U has more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1270 V2. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1270 V2 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 3700U.

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