Intel Xeon W3580 vs AMD Athlon Gold 3150U

Xeon W3580 vs Athlon Gold 3150U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon W3580 performs better than the Athlon Gold 3150U. Despite this, the Athlon Gold 3150U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W3580 has significantly more cores than the Athlon Gold 3150U. Indeed, the Xeon W3580 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon Gold 3150U. It also has more threads than the Athlon Gold 3150U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W3580 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Gold 3150U. Also, the Xeon W3580 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Athlon Gold 3150U outputs less heat than Xeon W3580 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Xeon W3580 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. Indeed, the Xeon W3580 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
