Core i5-6402P vs Xeon E5-620 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-620 is faster than the Core i5-6402P. Despite this, the Core i5-6402P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i5-6402P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-620. Also, the Core i5-6402P has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6402P 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. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-6402P has more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-620. The Core i5-6402P also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-6402P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
