Athlon X4 950 vs Xeon E5-450 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon X4 950 performs better than the Xeon E5-450. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-450 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon X4 950 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-450. A Athlon X4 950 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-450 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon E5-450 has significantly more L2 cache than the Athlon X4 950

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