Xeon E5-1603 v3 vs Athlon Gold 7220U benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1603 v3 performs better than the Athlon Gold 7220U. Despite this, the Athlon Gold 7220U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-1603 v3 has significantly more cores than the Athlon Gold 7220U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1603 v3 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon Gold 7220U. But they both have the same number of threads. The Athlon Gold 7220U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1603 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 E5-1603 v3 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
