Ryzen 7 4700U vs Xeon E5-2660 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 4700U is faster than the Xeon E5-2660 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 7 4700U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 4700U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 4700U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 4700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4700U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 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. For instance, the Ryzen 7 4700U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
