Core i5-4590T vs Phenom II X4 965 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Phenom II X4 965 is faster than the Core i5-4590T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4590T in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Phenom II X4 965 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4590T. The info from our database shows that the Phenom II X4 965 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-4590T. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i5-4590T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
