Core 2 Duo E7400 vs E2-9000 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the E2-9000 performs better than the Core 2 Duo E7400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E7400 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E7400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the E2-9000. The info from our database shows that the Core 2 Duo E7400 has more L2 cache than the E2-9000

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 Core 2 Duo E7400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
