Intel Xeon E5-2643 vs Intel Core i3-N305

Xeon E5-2643 vs Core i3-N305 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2643 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 significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2643 has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2643 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. Despite this, the Core i3-N305 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-N305 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2643 thanks to a 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. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2643 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
