Intel Core i7-4702MQ vs AMD Phenom II X6 1065T

Core i7-4702MQ vs Phenom II X6 1065T specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Phenom II X6 1065T beats the Core i7-4702MQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4702MQ in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Phenom II X6 1065T has significantly more cores than the Core i7-4702MQ. Indeed, the Phenom II X6 1065T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-4702MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4702MQ has more threads than the Phenom II X6 1065T. With our hardware info, we find that the Phenom II X6 1065T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4702MQ. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Phenom II X6 1065T has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-4702MQ. 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 i7-4702MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
