Intel Core i3-1115G4 vs Intel Xeon E5-520

Core i3-1115G4 vs Xeon E5-520 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-1115G4 performs better than the Xeon E5-520. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-520 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-520 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-1115G4 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-1115G4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-520. Also, the Core i3-1115G4 has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-1115G4 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-520 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 Core i3-1115G4 has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-520. Despite this, the Xeon E5-520 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i3-1115G4.

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 Core i3-1115G4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
