Xeon E5-2687W vs Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2687W is faster than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2687W has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2687W has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2687W. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
