Core i5-8259U vs Phenom II X6 1100T specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Phenom II X6 1100T performs better than the Core i5-8259U. Despite this, the Core i5-8259U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Phenom II X6 1100T has significantly more cores than the Core i5-8259U. Indeed, the Phenom II X6 1100T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-8259U. Despite this, the Core i5-8259U has more threads than the Phenom II X6 1100T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Phenom II X6 1100T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8259U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Phenom II X6 1100T has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8259U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.
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. Indeed, the Core i5-8259U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
