Xeon E5-2697 v2 vs Ryzen 7 5825U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5825U beats the Xeon E5-2697 v2 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2697 v2 in all gaming tests too.

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 7 5825U that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 5825U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2697 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5825U. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5825U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 7 5825U 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.
