Xeon E3-1245 v5 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 is faster than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500. Also, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 outputs less heat than Xeon E3-1245 v5 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E3-1245 v5. The Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 E3-1245 v5 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
