Xeon W-2125 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 beats the Xeon W-2125 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon W-2125 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 PRO 1500. Also, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 outputs less heat than Xeon W-2125 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 W-2125 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
