Core 2 Quad Q9505 vs Xeon E5-450 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-450 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-450 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Quad Q9505. In terms of cache, the Xeon E5-450 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core 2 Quad Q9505

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.
