AMD Ryzen 7 5800U vs Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4

Ryzen 7 5800U vs Xeon E5-2660 v4 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 5800U 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 5800U that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 5800U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 5800U 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 5800U has slightly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2660 v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 5800U.

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 5800U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
