Intel Xeon X5675 vs Intel Core 5 120U

Xeon X5675 vs Core 5 120U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon X5675 beats the Core 5 120U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core 5 120U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core 5 120U has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Xeon X5675 has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5675 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 120U. The info from our database shows that the Core 5 120U has more L2 cache than the Xeon X5675. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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 X5675 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
