Core 2 Quad Q9505 vs Xeon E5-440 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-440 is faster than the Core 2 Quad Q9505. 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. In terms of clock speed, the Core 2 Quad Q9505 and Xeon E5-440 are identical in this regard. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon E5-440 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core 2 Quad Q9505

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