Xeon E5-2650 v2 vs Ryzen 5 5500H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5500H beats the Xeon E5-2650 v2 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2650 v2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2650 v2 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5500H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500H. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 5500H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2650 v2. Also, the Ryzen 5 5500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5500H outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2650 v2 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2650 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
