Xeon E5-440 vs Xeon L5520 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon L5520 is faster than the Xeon E5-440. Despite this, the Xeon E5-440 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon L5520 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-440 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon L5520. The Xeon L5520 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-440 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. 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 E5-440 has more L2 cache than the Xeon L5520

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 E5-440 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
