Core i5-2400 vs Athlon X4 950 comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-2400 beats the Athlon X4 950 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 950 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 Athlon X4 950 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2400. Also, the Athlon X4 950 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Athlon X4 950 outputs less heat than Core i5-2400 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-2400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
