Core i3-3240 vs Xeon W3520 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon W3520 performs better than the Core i3-3240. Despite this, the Core i3-3240 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W3520 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-3240. Indeed, the Xeon W3520 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-3240. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-3240 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W3520. A Core i3-3240 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 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 i3-3240 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
