Athlon II X2 240 vs Core 2 Duo E7200 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 2 Duo E7200 performs better than the Athlon II X2 240. Despite this, the Athlon II X2 240 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon II X2 240 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Duo E7200. The info from our database shows that the Core 2 Duo E7200 has more L2 cache than the Athlon II X2 240

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Athlon II X2 240 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
