Xeon E5-2696 v3 vs Ryzen 5 7640HS comparison
In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2696 v3 beats the Ryzen 5 7640HS in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7640HS has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2696 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 7640HS that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7640HS. The Ryzen 5 7640HS outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2696 v3 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 E5-2696 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
