Core i5-4570 vs Phenom II X6 1100T comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4570 beats the Phenom II X6 1100T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Phenom II X6 1100T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Phenom II X6 1100T has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4570. Indeed, the Phenom II X6 1100T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-4570. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4570. With our hardware info, we find that the Phenom II X6 1100T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4570.

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 i5-4570 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
