In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Phenom II X4 B50 has slightly more cores than the Core i7-4810MQ. Indeed, the Phenom II X4 B50 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 B50. Our comparison shows that the Phenom II X4 B50 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4810MQ. The info from our database shows that the Phenom II X4 B50 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-4810MQ. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 B50 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
