Xeon E5-2630 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U is faster than the Xeon E5-2630. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2630 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2630 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2630 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2630 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2630 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
