Xeon E5-2670 vs Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U performs better than the Xeon E5-2670. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2670 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2670 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2670 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U 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.

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 E5-2670 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
