Intel Xeon W3580 vs Intel Core i3-1005G1

Xeon W3580 vs Core i3-1005G1 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1005G1 is faster than the Xeon W3580. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W3580 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon W3580 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-1005G1 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-1005G1. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W3580 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1005G1. Also, the Xeon W3580 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1005G1 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. In terms of cache, the Xeon W3580 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-1005G1. The Xeon W3580 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. Indeed, the Xeon W3580 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
