Intel Core i5-1155G7 vs Intel Xeon E5-520

Core i5-1155G7 vs Xeon E5-520 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-1155G7 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 these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i5-1155G7 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-1155G7 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-520. Also, the Core i5-1155G7 has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-1155G7 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.

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 i5-1155G7 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
