Intel Core i5-760 vs AMD Phenom II X4 B50

Core i5-760 vs Phenom II X4 B50 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Phenom II X4 B50 is faster than the Core i5-760. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-760 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Phenom II X4 B50 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-760. In terms of cache, the Phenom II X4 B50 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-760. Despite this, the Core i5-760 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Phenom II X4 B50.

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