Intel Core i5-7300HQ vs AMD Phenom II X6 1100T

Core i5-7300HQ vs Phenom II X6 1100T specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Phenom II X6 1100T is faster than the Core i5-7300HQ. Despite this, the Core i5-7300HQ has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Phenom II X6 1100T has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7300HQ. Indeed, the Phenom II X6 1100T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-7300HQ. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7300HQ. Our comparison shows that the Phenom II X6 1100T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7300HQ. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Phenom II X6 1100T has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-7300HQ. 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 i5-7300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
