Intel Core i5-4440S vs AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

Core i5-4440S vs Phenom II X6 1055T benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Phenom II X6 1055T performs better than the Core i5-4440S. Despite this, the Core i5-4440S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Phenom II X6 1055T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-4440S that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4440S. Both the Core i5-4440S and Phenom II X6 1055T have the same clock speed.

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 i5-4440S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
