Ryzen 7 4700U vs Xeon E5-2670 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 4700U beats the Xeon E5-2670 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 4700U that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 4700U. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than 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 E5-2670 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 7 4700U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
