AMD Phenom II X4 945 vs Intel Core i7-4810MQ

Phenom II X4 945 vs Core i7-4810MQ comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4810MQ performs better than the Phenom II X4 945. Despite this, the Phenom II X4 945 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Phenom II X4 945 has slightly more cores than the Core i7-4810MQ. Indeed, the Phenom II X4 945 has 4 cores compared to 3 cores found in the Core i7-4810MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has more threads than the Phenom II X4 945. With our hardware info, we find that the Phenom II X4 945 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4810MQ. In terms of cache, the Phenom II X4 945 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-4810MQ. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Phenom II X4 945 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
