Core i5-4440S vs Xeon E5-520 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4440S 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.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4440S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-520. Also, the Core i5-4440S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4440S CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-520 CPU because of its slightly 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. For instance, the Core i5-4440S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
