Intel Celeron G5905 vs AMD Phenom II X4 960T

Celeron G5905 vs Phenom II X4 960T benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Phenom II X4 960T performs better than the Celeron G5905. Despite this, the Celeron G5905 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Phenom II X4 960T has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Celeron G5905 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron G5905. Our comparison shows that the Celeron G5905 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Phenom II X4 960T.

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 Celeron G5905 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
