Xeon X5470 vs Phenom II X4 965 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon X5470 beats the Phenom II X4 965 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Phenom II X4 965 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Phenom II X4 965 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon X5470. In terms of cache, the Xeon X5470 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Phenom II X4 965

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 Xeon X5470 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
