Athlon II X4 651 vs Xeon E5-440 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-440 performs better than the Athlon II X4 651. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon II X4 651 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon II X4 651 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 651

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