Xeon W3520 vs N100 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W3520 beats the N100 in overall performance. Despite this, the N100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W3520 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N100. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the N100 has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon W3520. Despite this, the Xeon W3520 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the N100.

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.
