Core i5-5300U vs Athlon II X3 445 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon II X3 445 is faster than the Core i5-5300U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-5300U in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Athlon II X3 445 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-5300U. Indeed, the Athlon II X3 445 has 3 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-5300U. Despite this, the Core i5-5300U has more threads than the Athlon II X3 445. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon II X3 445 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-5300U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Athlon II X3 445 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-5300U
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. Indeed, the Core i5-5300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
