Xeon E5-2687W vs Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U performs better than the Xeon E5-2687W. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2687W has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2687W has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U. The Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2687W 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 PRO 4650U has more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2687W. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U.

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