Intel Core i5-4460S vs AMD Phenom II X4 965

Core i5-4460S vs Phenom II X4 965 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4460S beats the Phenom II X4 965 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Phenom II X4 965 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Phenom II X4 965 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4460S.

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