A8-6500 vs Xeon W3520 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-6500 is faster than the Xeon W3520. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W3520 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon W3520 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the A8-6500 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A8-6500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W3520. Also, the A8-6500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A A8-6500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3520 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A8-6500 has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon W3520
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. Indeed, the A8-6500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
