Xeon E5-1620 v3 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U beats the Xeon E5-1620 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1620 v3 in all gaming tests too.

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 E5-1620 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1620 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 E5-1620 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
