Core i5-760 vs Athlon II X4 640 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-760 is faster than the Athlon II X4 640. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon II X4 640 in all gaming tests too.

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 Athlon II X4 640 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-760. In terms of cache, the Athlon II X4 640 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-760

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 i5-760 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
