Athlon II X4 651 vs Core i7-4712MQ comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4712MQ performs better than the Athlon II X4 651. Despite this, the Athlon II X4 651 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4712MQ has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon II X4 651 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4712MQ. In terms of cache, the Athlon II X4 651 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-4712MQ

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