Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Phenom II X4 945 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6400T.

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 i5-6400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
