Athlon II X4 640 vs Xeon E5-450 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon II X4 640 performs better than the Xeon E5-450. Despite this, the Xeon E5-450 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-450 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon II X4 640. The info from our database shows that the Xeon E5-450 has more L2 cache than 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.
