Xeon E5-2665 vs Ryzen 5 8500G benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2665 is faster than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8500G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2665 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2665 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 8500G. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 8500G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2665. Also, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 8500G outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2665 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 E5-2665 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
