Core i7-860 vs N95 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-860 is faster than the N95. Despite this, the N95 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-860 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-860 has a significantly higher clock speed than the N95.

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 i7-860 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
