Core i5-7400T vs Phenom II X4 965 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Phenom II X4 965 performs better than the Core i5-7400T. Despite this, the Core i5-7400T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Phenom II X4 965 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-7400T. In terms of cache, the Phenom II X4 965 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-7400T. 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 i5-7400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
