A10-9600P vs Pentium G3240 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium G3240 performs better than the A10-9600P. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-9600P in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A10-9600P has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Pentium G3240 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3240. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G3240 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A10-9600P. A A10-9600P CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G3240 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.
