I didn't modify my intent, which was comparing the same CPU with Xeon
features (more cache specifically) with same CPU without Xeon features.

That's not necessarily true.  It depends on the function.  Reading a file
has nothing to do with the CPU, so what faster means is dubious in your
statement.  Or, are you going by the Intel advertising, claiming that you
need a dual 2.4G computer to browse the internet "faster" ;-)

Oh, but it does matter my friend, it does ;-)
