Intel Pentium Silver N6000 vs AMD Athlon II X4 651

Pentium Silver N6000 vs Athlon II X4 651 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Silver N6000 is faster than the Athlon II X4 651. Despite this, the Athlon II X4 651 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 Athlon II X4 651 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N6000.

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. For instance, the Pentium Silver N6000 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
