AMD Athlon X4 760K vs Intel Xeon W3520

Athlon X4 760K vs Xeon W3520 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon X4 760K 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 Athlon X4 760K that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon X4 760K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W3520. In terms of cache, the Athlon X4 760K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to 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 Athlon X4 760K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
