Xeon E5-1620 v4 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U performs better than the Xeon E5-1620 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1620 v4 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount 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 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 v4 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 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
