Phenom II X6 1065T vs Xeon E5-649 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Phenom II X6 1065T beats the Xeon E5-649 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-649 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 X6 1065T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-649. The info from our database shows that the Phenom II X6 1065T has more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-649. Despite this, the Xeon E5-649 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Phenom II X6 1065T.

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 1065T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
