AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ vs Intel Pentium G860

Athlon 64 X2 4000+ vs Pentium G860 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G860 is faster than the Athlon 64 X2 4000+. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon 64 X2 4000+ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G860 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon 64 X2 4000+. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Athlon 64 X2 4000+ has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium G860

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. For instance, the Athlon 64 X2 4000+ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
