Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE performs better than the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Also, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE 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.
