Athlon II X2 220 vs Core 2 Duo E6850 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon II X2 220 is faster than the Core 2 Duo E6850. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E6850 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E6850 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon II X2 220. In terms of cache, the Core 2 Duo E6850 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Athlon II X2 220

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. For instance, the Athlon II X2 220 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
