Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-9850HL has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Phenom II X6 1055T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9850HL. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Phenom II X6 1055T has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9850HL. Despite this, the Core i7-9850HL has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Phenom II X6 1055T.

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 X6 1055T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
