Xeon E3-1245 v5 vs Core i3-N305 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-N305 performs better than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Indeed, the Core i3-N305 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1245 v5. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. The info from our database shows that the Core i3-N305 has more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i3-N305.

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. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
