Athlon II X2 220 vs Pentium E5400 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium E5400 beats the Athlon II X2 220 in overall performance. Despite this, the Athlon II X2 220 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon II X2 220 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium E5400. The info from our database shows that the Pentium E5400 has more L2 cache than the Athlon II X2 220

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