Intel Xeon E5-620 vs Intel Core 5 120U

Xeon E5-620 vs Core 5 120U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 5 120U is faster than the Xeon E5-620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-620 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 5 120U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Xeon E5-620 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-620. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-620 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 120U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 5 120U has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-620. The Core 5 120U also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 E5-620 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
