A6-3670 vs Xeon L5520 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon L5520 beats the A6-3670 in overall performance. Despite this, the A6-3670 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon L5520 has more threads. The Xeon L5520 outputs less heat than A6-3670 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the A6-3670 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
