Xeon E5-2696 v3 vs Ryzen 5 8500G comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2696 v3 performs better than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8500G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2696 v3 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2696 v3 has 18 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 8500G. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8500G. The Ryzen 5 8500G 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.
