Phenom II X6 1090T vs Xeon E3-1220 v5 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1220 v5 beats the Phenom II X6 1090T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Phenom II X6 1090T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Phenom II X6 1090T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1220 v5 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1220 v5. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Phenom II X6 1090T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1220 v5. The info from our database shows that the Phenom II X6 1090T has more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1220 v5. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1220 v5 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Phenom II X6 1090T.

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 1090T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
