Xeon X5470 vs Phenom II X6 1065T benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Phenom II X6 1065T performs better than the Xeon X5470. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5470 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Phenom II X6 1065T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon X5470 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon X5470. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5470 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Phenom II X6 1065T. The info from our database shows that the Xeon X5470 has more L2 cache than 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 Xeon X5470 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
