Athlon II X4 651 vs Xeon X5450 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon X5450 beats the Athlon II X4 651 in overall performance. 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon X5450 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Athlon II X4 651. The info from our database shows that the Xeon X5450 has more L2 cache than the Athlon II X4 651

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.
