Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Ryzen 5 7640U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2630 v3 is faster than the Ryzen 5 7640U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7640U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 7640U that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7640U. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 7640U has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2630 v3. Also, the Ryzen 5 7640U has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7640U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2630 v3 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 E5-2630 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
