Intel Core i5-7500T vs AMD Phenom II X4 980

Core i5-7500T vs Phenom II X4 980 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-7500T is faster than the Phenom II X4 980. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Phenom II X4 980 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Phenom II X4 980 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7500T. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Phenom II X4 980 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-7500T. 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 i5-7500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
