Xeon E5-2698 v3 vs Ryzen 5 8640HS benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 8640HS performs better than the Xeon E5-2698 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2698 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2698 v3 has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 8640HS that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8640HS. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 8640HS has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2698 v3. Also, the Ryzen 5 8640HS has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 8640HS outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2698 v3 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2698 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
