Core i7-860 vs N95 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the N95 is faster than the Core i7-860. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-860 in all gaming tests too.

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.
