Core i5-7400T vs Phenom II X4 955 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-7400T performs better than the Phenom II X4 955. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Phenom II X4 955 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Phenom II X4 955 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7400T. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-7400T has significantly more L2 cache than the Phenom II X4 955

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