Intel Xeon W3680 vs Intel Core i3-N305

Xeon W3680 vs Core i3-N305 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-N305 is faster than the Xeon W3680. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W3680 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-N305 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon W3680 that has 6 cores. Despite this, the Xeon W3680 has more threads than the Core i3-N305. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W3680 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. The info from our database shows that the Xeon W3680 has more L2 cache than the Core i3-N305

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 W3680 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
