Intel Xeon X5470 vs AMD Phenom II X4 980

Xeon X5470 vs Phenom II X4 980 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Phenom II X4 980 is faster than the Xeon X5470. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5470 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Phenom II X4 980 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X5470. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon X5470 has significantly more L2 cache than the Phenom II X4 980

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Xeon X5470 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
