Athlon II X4 635 vs Xeon E5-440 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-440 beats the Athlon II X4 635 in overall performance. 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 Xeon E5-440. In terms of cache, the Xeon E5-440 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Athlon II X4 635

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