Xeon E5-430 vs Xeon E5-620 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-620 is faster than the Xeon E5-430. Despite this, the Xeon E5-430 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E5-620 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-430 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-620. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Xeon E5-430 has more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-620

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. For instance, the Xeon E5-430 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
