A10-9600P vs Pentium G2120 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A10-9600P beats the Pentium G2120 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium G2120 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A10-9600P has significantly more cores than the Pentium G2120. Indeed, the A10-9600P has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G2120. It also has more threads than the Pentium G2120. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G2120 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A10-9600P. A A10-9600P CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G2120 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 A10-9600P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
