Xeon E5-1620 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1620 is faster than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. Also, the Xeon E5-1620 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1620 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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
