Core i5-7400T vs Athlon X4 950 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-7400T is faster than the Athlon X4 950. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 950 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon X4 950 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-7400T. Also, the Athlon X4 950 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7400T CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 950 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Athlon X4 950 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-7400T

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 i5-7400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
