Ryzen 7 3700U vs Xeon E5-2630 v4 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2630 v4 performs better than the Ryzen 7 3700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 3700U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 3700U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has 10 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 7 3700U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 3700U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3700U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v4. A Ryzen 7 3700U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2630 v4 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 3700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
