Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Ryzen 5 5625U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 is faster than the Ryzen 5 5625U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5625U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 5625U has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5625U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 5625U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5625U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5625U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2640 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 E5-2640 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
