Xeon X5650 vs Ryzen 5 7520U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon X5650 performs better than the Ryzen 5 7520U. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 7520U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon X5650 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 7520U. Indeed, the Xeon X5650 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 5 7520U. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 7520U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 7520U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X5650. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 7520U has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon X5650. Despite this, the Xeon X5650 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 7520U.

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 X5650 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
