Xeon E5-2620 v3 vs Core i3-N305 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 is faster than the Core i3-N305. Despite this, the Core i3-N305 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i3-N305 has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has 6 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has more threads than the Core i3-N305. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed 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 E5-2620 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
