Athlon II X4 635 vs PRO A8-8670E benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the PRO A8-8670E is faster than the Athlon II X4 635. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon II X4 635 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon II X4 635 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the PRO A8-8670E. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache

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 X4 635 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
