Xeon E3-1230 V2 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U beats the Xeon E3-1230 V2 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1230 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E3-1230 V2 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E3-1230 V2. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1230 V2 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U.

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 Xeon E3-1230 V2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
