Athlon 3000G vs Xeon L5520 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon 3000G is faster than the Xeon L5520. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon L5520 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon L5520 has significantly more cores than the Athlon 3000G. Indeed, the Xeon L5520 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon 3000G. It also has more threads than the Athlon 3000G. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon 3000G has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon L5520. A Athlon 3000G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon L5520 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Xeon L5520 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 Athlon 3000G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
