Xeon E5-2650 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2650 is faster than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2650 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2650. Also, the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2650 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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
