A10-6700 vs Xeon L5520 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon L5520 beats the A10-6700 in overall performance. Despite this, the A10-6700 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon L5520 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-6700 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon L5520. Also, the A10-6700 has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Xeon L5520 outputs less heat than A10-6700 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the A10-6700 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon L5520

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the A10-6700 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
