AMD Athlon X4 950 vs Intel N95

Athlon X4 950 vs N95 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Athlon X4 950 beats the N95 in overall performance. Despite this, the N95 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 Athlon X4 950 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N95. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache

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 X4 950 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
