Core 2 Quad Q9505 vs PRO A8-8670E comparison

In our benchmarks, the PRO A8-8670E beats the Core 2 Quad Q9505 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q9505 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core 2 Quad Q9505 has a slightly higher clock speed than the PRO A8-8670E. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q9505 has significantly more L2 cache than the PRO A8-8670E

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 Core 2 Quad Q9505 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
