Core i5-4460 vs Phenom II X6 1100T benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Phenom II X6 1100T is faster than the Core i5-4460. Despite this, the Core i5-4460 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Phenom II X6 1100T has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-4460 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4460. Our comparison shows that the Phenom II X6 1100T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4460. In terms of cache, the Phenom II X6 1100T has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-4460. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i5-4460 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
