Xeon E5-2620 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2620 performs better than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2620 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620. Also, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2620 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 E5-2620 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
