Ryzen 7 4700U vs Xeon E5-2678 v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2678 v3 beats the Ryzen 7 4700U in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 4700U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2678 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. A Ryzen 7 4700U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2678 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.
