Xeon E5-2637 v3 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 is faster than the Xeon E5-2637 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2637 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Xeon E5-2637 v3 and Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 have the same clock speed. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2637 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 E5-2637 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
