Core i5-750 vs Athlon II X4 640 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon II X4 640 performs better than the Core i5-750. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-750 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon II X4 640 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-750.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-750 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
