Core i5-750 vs Phenom II X4 945 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Phenom II X4 945 is faster 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 Phenom II X4 945 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-750.

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 i5-750 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
