Pentium G4520 vs Xeon E5-1603 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1603 performs better than the Pentium G4520. Despite this, the Pentium G4520 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-1603 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G4520 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G4520. A Pentium G4520 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1603 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Pentium G4520 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
