Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 vs AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS

Xeon E5-2673 v4 vs Ryzen 5 8640HS benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2673 v4 is faster than the Ryzen 5 8640HS. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8640HS has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2673 v4 has significantly more cores with 20 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 8640HS that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8640HS. The Ryzen 5 8640HS outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2673 v4 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 E5-2673 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
