Intel Core i5-8350U vs Intel Xeon E5-620

Core i5-8350U vs Xeon E5-620 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8350U performs better than the Xeon E5-620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-620 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 Xeon E5-620 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8350U. Despite this, the Core i5-8350U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8350U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-620 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-8350U has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-620. The Core i5-8350U 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. Indeed, the Core i5-8350U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
