Ryzen 7 7730U vs Xeon E5-2687W v4 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2687W v4 performs better than the Ryzen 7 7730U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 7730U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2687W v4 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 7730U that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 7730U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2687W v4 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 7730U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 7730U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 7730U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W 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 7730U has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-2687W v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W v4 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 7730U.

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 7730U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
