Xeon E3-1231 v3 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E3-1231 v3 performs better than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E3-1231 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. Also, the Xeon E3-1231 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U outputs less heat than Xeon E3-1231 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. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1231 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
