Athlon II X2 240 vs Athlon II X2 245 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon II X2 245 is faster than the Athlon II X2 240. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon II X2 240 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon II X2 245 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon II X2 240. In terms of cache, the Athlon II X2 240 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Athlon II X2 245

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