Core 2 Quad Q9650 vs N95 comparison

In our benchmarks, the N95 beats the Core 2 Quad Q9650 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q9650 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core 2 Quad Q9650 has a significantly higher clock speed than the N95. The info from our database shows that the Core 2 Quad Q9650 has more L2 cache than the N95

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 Q9650 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
