Phenom II X6 1055T vs Core i7-4702MQ benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Phenom II X6 1055T performs better than the Core i7-4702MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4702MQ in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Phenom II X6 1055T has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i7-4702MQ has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-4702MQ has more threads than the Phenom II X6 1055T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Phenom II X6 1055T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4702MQ. In terms of cache, the Phenom II X6 1055T has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-4702MQ. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Phenom II X6 1055T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
