Xeon E5-1660 vs Ryzen 3 5425U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 3 5425U is faster than the Xeon E5-1660. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1660 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-1660 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 3 5425U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1660 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 3 5425U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 5425U. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1660 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 3 5425U. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 5425U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 3 5425U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1660 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 E5-1660 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
