Phenom II X4 965 vs Core i5-3350P comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3350P is faster than the Phenom II X4 965. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Phenom II X4 965 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Phenom II X4 965 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3350P. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Phenom II X4 965 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-3350P. 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 965 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
