AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS vs Intel Xeon E5-2650 v2

Ryzen 7 5800HS vs Xeon E5-2650 v2 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5800HS beats the Xeon E5-2650 v2 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2650 v2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 5800HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2650 v2. Also, the Ryzen 7 5800HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800HS CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 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 5800HS has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
