Xeon E5-620 vs Ryzen 5 7520U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 7520U performs better than the Xeon E5-620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-620 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 7520U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-620. Also, the Ryzen 5 7520U has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 7520U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-620 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7520U has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-620. The Ryzen 5 7520U also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 E5-620 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
