Xeon E5-2687W v3 vs Ryzen 5 7640U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 7640U performs better than the Xeon E5-2687W v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W v3 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 7640U has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7640U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7640U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2687W v3. Also, the Ryzen 5 7640U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7640U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2687W v3 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 5 7640U has more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2687W v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 7640U.

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 E5-2687W v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
