Core i5-3340 vs Phenom II X6 1045T specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3340 performs better than the Phenom II X6 1045T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Phenom II X6 1045T in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Phenom II X6 1045T has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-3340 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-3340. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3340 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Phenom II X6 1045T.

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 i5-3340 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
