Xeon E5-2697 v2 vs Ryzen 5 5500H benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2697 v2 beats the Ryzen 5 5500H in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2697 v2 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5500H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 5500H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2697 v2. Also, the Ryzen 5 5500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5500H outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2697 v2 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 E5-2697 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
