Intel Core i7-4770K vs Intel Xeon W3520

Core i7-4770K vs Xeon W3520 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4770K beats the Xeon W3520 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W3520 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4770K has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4770K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W3520. Also, the Core i7-4770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4770K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3520 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and 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 i7-4770K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
