Xeon E5-1620 v3 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1620 v3 performs better than the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores 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 7 PRO 2700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U 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.
