Xeon E5-2687W vs Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2687W is faster than the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2687W has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U 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 7 PRO 5850U 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 7 PRO 5850U.

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.
