AMD Ryzen 7 4800U vs Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2

Ryzen 7 4800U vs Xeon E5-2690 v2 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 4800U is faster than the Xeon E5-2690 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2690 v2 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 7 4800U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 4800U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 4800U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 4800U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 4800U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 4800U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 v2 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 4800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
