AMD Ryzen 7 2700E vs Intel Xeon W-2235

Processor comparisons   25-03-2021
   For example you can't decide which CPU to buy, you can make a choice after reading the detailed tests AMD Ryzen 7 2700E vs Intel Xeon W-2235 and see which is better for games or simple use for rendering, streaming, programming, machine learning, video editing. Here you can find all information from several benchmarks or real video editing and streaming tests. A careful analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel examination in synthetic type tests like Gears 5, Dolphin Emulator, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), RealBench, 7zip, PassMark, Blender, AIDA64, Prime95, Furmark, MATLAB, WPrime, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Handbrake, GeekBench 6, 5.2, VeraCrypt, 3DMark, UserBenchmark, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, Blender, PCMark 10, SuperPi.

The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor currently available. And of course, this is a server processor, on which no one will play games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. And if it seems to you that the selected CPU has a little game result, look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the summary table below.

The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The tested computers not only did they have different amounts of RAM and different video cards. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: FullHD, 2K or 4K. So the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. You will get more accurate information about how powerful the processor will be in games, if you compare it in one assembly with the video card that is installed in your computer.

To make a finishing decision on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. The newer the processor generation, the better its performance in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Ryzen 7 2700E is more energy efficient than the Xeon W-2235 since it has less power consumption: 45W vs. 130W. Power consumption is particularly important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, it will be useful to know its TDP. It is necessary to calculate so that the TDP data specified in the cooler specification is greater than the TDP of the compared processor.

Software benchmarks

If you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for machine learning, streaming, programming, video rendering or video editing, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, the CPU includes all threads and cores that it has to the maximum to reach maximum performance. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before using the data from these tests, be sure to make sure that the software that you are going to use on your computer can work in multi-threaded mode. Because there are still many programs that use only one core to run, and all the benefit of multi-core mode are unused.

Comparison of specifications

In the specification comparison table, the processor release date and overclocking capability will be the most helpful. The newer the processor, the longer it will last you. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system later. The same benefits from the presence of overclocking. If the processor can be overclocked, thereby increasing its performance, then it will still be able to produce maximum FPS in the newest games. Accordingly, you do not need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The economy are obvious!

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Xeon W-2235 is 26% better than Ryzen 7 2700E in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that Ryzen 7 2700E has 2 more core than Xeon W-2235. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).

Result:
The number of parameters for which AMD Ryzen 7 2700E is better: 23
The number of parameters for which Intel Xeon W-2235 is better: 16
However, it should be realized that all the figures that you have looked at here do not mean that taking them into account you should completely trust a simple quantitative comparison. Better to watch benchmarks video and read the opinion of real owners of AMD Ryzen 7 2700E and Intel Xeon W-2235 before making a choice which CPU to buy for gaming and which not.
