Phenom II X4 945 vs Xeon E5-450 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Phenom II X4 945 is faster than the Xeon E5-450. Despite this, the Xeon E5-450 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-450 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Phenom II X4 945. In terms of cache, the Xeon E5-450 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Phenom II X4 945

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.
