Phenom II X6 1055T vs Xeon E5-620 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Phenom II X6 1055T is faster than the Xeon E5-620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-620 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Phenom II X6 1055T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon E5-620 that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-620 has more threads than the Phenom II X6 1055T. With our hardware info, we find that the Phenom II X6 1055T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-620. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Phenom II X6 1055T has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-620. The Phenom II X6 1055T also has significantly more 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 X6 1055T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
