Ryzen 7 5700U vs Xeon E5-1660 v3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 5700U performs better than the Xeon E5-1660 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1660 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1660 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 5700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5700U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1660 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5700U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
