Core i5-2320 vs Xeon E5-620 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-620 performs better than the Core i5-2320. Despite this, the Core i5-2320 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-620 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-2320 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-620. Also, the Core i5-2320 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-620 outputs less heat than Core i5-2320 thanks to a 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. For instance, the Core i5-2320 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
