Athlon II X4 640 vs Xeon E5-440 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon II X4 640 performs better than the Xeon E5-440. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-440 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon II X4 640 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-440. In terms of cache, the Xeon E5-440 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Athlon II X4 640

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Athlon II X4 640 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
