Xeon E5-2670 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U is faster than the Xeon E5-2670. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2670 has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2670 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2670 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 E5-2670 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
