A10-7890K vs Xeon W3520 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-7890K is faster than the Xeon W3520. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W3520 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W3520 has significantly more cores than the A10-7890K. Indeed, the Xeon W3520 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A10-7890K. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A10-7890K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W3520. Also, the A10-7890K has a significantly higher turbo speed. A A10-7890K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3520 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the A10-7890K has more L2 cache than the Xeon W3520

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. Indeed, the A10-7890K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
