A10-7890K vs FX-4130 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A10-7890K beats the FX-4130 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-4130 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A10-7890K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the FX-4130. A A10-7890K CPU outputs less heat than a FX-4130 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache

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. Indeed, the A10-7890K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
