Athlon X4 950 vs Phenom II X4 960T comparison

In our benchmarks, the Athlon X4 950 beats the Phenom II X4 960T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Phenom II X4 960T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon X4 950 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Phenom II X4 960T. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache

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