Xeon E5-2620 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2620 is faster than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2620 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2620 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620. Also, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U 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.
