Xeon E3-1230 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1230 is faster than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has significantly more cores than the Xeon E3-1230. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1230. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1230. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1230 has a slightly 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 E3-1230 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1230 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
