Xeon E5-2683 v4 vs Ryzen 5 8500G benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2683 v4 beats the Ryzen 5 8500G in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8500G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2683 v4 has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 8500G that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8500G. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 8500G has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2683 v4. Also, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 8500G outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2683 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 E5-2683 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
