Intel Xeon X5647 vs Intel Core i3-N305

Xeon X5647 vs Core i3-N305 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon X5647 performs better than the Core i3-N305. Despite this, the Core i3-N305 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Xeon X5647 has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5647 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. The info from our database shows that the Core i3-N305 has more L2 cache than the Xeon X5647. Despite this, the Xeon X5647 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i3-N305.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Xeon X5647 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
