AMD Athlon X4 760K vs Intel Xeon E5-440

Athlon X4 760K vs Xeon E5-440 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-440 is faster than the Athlon X4 760K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 760K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-440 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Athlon X4 760K that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon X4 760K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-440. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Athlon X4 760K has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-440

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. Indeed, the Athlon X4 760K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
