Phenom II X4 955 vs Athlon Gold 3150U benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Phenom II X4 955 performs better than the Athlon Gold 3150U. Despite this, the Athlon Gold 3150U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Phenom II X4 955 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Athlon Gold 3150U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Phenom II X4 955 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Gold 3150U. In terms of cache, the Athlon Gold 3150U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Phenom II X4 955
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 Phenom II X4 955 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
