Intel Xeon W3520 vs Intel Core i7-4810MQ

Xeon W3520 vs Core i7-4810MQ benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4810MQ is faster than the Xeon W3520. Despite this, the Xeon W3520 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon W3520 has slightly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-4810MQ that has 3 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has more threads than the Xeon W3520. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W3520. Also, the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4810MQ outputs less heat than Xeon W3520 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Xeon W3520 also has slightly 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 W3520 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
