When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Phenom II X4 945 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-760. The info from our database shows that the Phenom II X4 945 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-760. Despite this, the Core i5-760 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Phenom II X4 945.

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.
