Xeon W3520 vs Xeon X5650 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon X5650 performs better than the Xeon W3520. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W3520 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon X5650 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon W3520 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W3520. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W3520 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon X5650. Despite this, the Xeon X5650 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon X5650 outputs less heat than Xeon W3520 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 X5650 has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon W3520. The Xeon X5650 also has significantly more L3 cache.
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 W3520 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
