Intel Core i5-4460S vs AMD Phenom II X6 1045T

Core i5-4460S vs Phenom II X6 1045T benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4460S 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Phenom II X6 1045T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-4460S that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4460S. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4460S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Phenom II X6 1045T.

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.
