Intel Core i5-760 vs Intel Xeon L5520

Core i5-760 vs Xeon L5520 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-760 beats the Xeon L5520 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon L5520 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon L5520 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-760 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon L5520. Also, the Core i5-760 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon L5520 outputs less heat than Core i5-760 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-760 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
