Xeon E5-1620 v3 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-1620 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U 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.

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 E5-1620 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
