Athlon II X4 640 vs Xeon X5450 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5450 is faster than the Athlon II X4 640. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon II X4 640 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5450 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon II X4 640. The info from our database shows that the Xeon X5450 has more L2 cache than the Athlon II X4 640

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