Pentium G4400 vs Xeon W3520 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W3520 beats the Pentium G4400 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium G4400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W3520 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G4400. Indeed, the Xeon W3520 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G4400. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4400. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W3520. A Pentium G4400 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. In terms of cache, the Xeon W3520 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Pentium G4400. The Xeon W3520 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 Pentium G4400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
