Core i5-2400 vs Phenom II X6 1055T comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Phenom II X6 1055T performs better than the Core i5-2400. Despite this, the Core i5-2400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Phenom II X6 1055T has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-2400 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-2400. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-2400 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Phenom II X6 1055T.

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 i5-2400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
