Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Ryzen 5 8500G benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2630 v3 performs better than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8500G 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 8500G that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 8500G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v3. Also, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 8500G outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2630 v3 thanks to a slightly 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.
