Core i5-2400S vs Phenom II X4 B50 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Phenom II X4 B50 beats the Core i5-2400S in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2400S in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Phenom II X4 B50 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2400S.

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