Xeon W-2145 vs Ryzen 5 8500G comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 8500G beats the Xeon W-2145 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-2145 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W-2145 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Indeed, the Xeon W-2145 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 8500G. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 8500G. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-2145 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 8500G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 8500G has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 8500G outputs less heat than Xeon W-2145 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-2145 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
