Phenom II X4 960T vs FX-870K benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Phenom II X4 960T beats the FX-870K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-870K in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Phenom II X4 960T has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the FX-870K that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-870K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Phenom II X4 960T. In terms of cache, the FX-870K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Phenom II X4 960T
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 960T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
