Xeon E3-1226 v3 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U beats the Xeon E3-1226 v3 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Xeon E3-1226 v3 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1226 v3. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U outputs less heat than Xeon E3-1226 v3 thanks to a 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. For instance, the Xeon E3-1226 v3 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
