Xeon E5-450 vs Xeon L5520 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-450 performs better than the Xeon L5520. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon L5520 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon L5520 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-450 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon L5520. The Xeon L5520 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-450 thanks to a slightly 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 Xeon E5-450 has significantly 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 E5-450 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
