Xeon E5-1620 v4 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1620 v4 performs better than the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U 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 v4 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. Also, the Xeon E5-1620 v4 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1620 v4 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1620 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
