Xeon E5-440 vs PRO A8-8670E benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-440 performs better than the PRO A8-8670E. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the PRO A8-8670E 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 Xeon E5-440 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the PRO A8-8670E. In terms of cache, the Xeon E5-440 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the PRO A8-8670E

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 Xeon E5-440 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
