Ryzen 7 5800HS vs Xeon E5-2660 v4 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5800HS is faster than the Xeon E5-2660 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 v4 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 5800HS. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has 14 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 5800HS. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 5800HS. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800HS has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v4. Also, the Ryzen 7 5800HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800HS CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 5800HS has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 5800HS.

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.
