Xeon E5-2650 v3 vs Ryzen 5 8500G comparison
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 8500G beats the Xeon E5-2650 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2650 v3 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2650 v3 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 8500G that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8500G. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2650 v3. Also, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 8500G outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2650 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 E5-2650 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
