With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 7700X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core 2 Quad Q6600. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same 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 Core 2 Quad Q6600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
