Intel Core i3-4340 vs Intel Xeon L5520

Core i3-4340 vs Xeon L5520 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4340 beats the Xeon L5520 in overall performance. 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 Core i3-4340. Indeed, the Xeon L5520 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4340. It also has more threads than the Core i3-4340. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4340 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon L5520. A Core i3-4340 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon L5520 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-4340 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
