Xeon E5-2660 v3 vs Ryzen 3 5425U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 5425U beats the Xeon E5-2660 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 3 5425U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 5425U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 5425U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v3.

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 E5-2660 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
