Intel Core i5-3340 vs Intel Xeon E5-620

Core i5-3340 vs Xeon E5-620 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3340 is faster than the Xeon E5-620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-620 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-620 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-3340 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-620. Also, the Core i5-3340 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-3340 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-620 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. For instance, the Core i5-3340 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
