Intel Xeon E3-1535M v6 vs Intel Core i3-N305

Xeon E3-1535M v6 vs Core i3-N305 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1535M v6 beats the Core i3-N305 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-N305 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1535M v6 that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E3-1535M v6 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-N305. Also, the Xeon E3-1535M v6 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-N305 outputs less heat than Xeon E3-1535M v6 thanks to a 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 i3-N305 has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1535M v6. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1535M v6 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 E3-1535M v6 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
