Xeon E5-649 vs Core i5-3350P comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-649 beats the Core i5-3350P in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-3350P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-649 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-3350P has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-3350P. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-3350P has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-649. Also, the Core i5-3350P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-3350P outputs less heat than Xeon E5-649 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 E5-649 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-3350P. The Xeon E5-649 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. For instance, the Xeon E5-649 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
