A12-9720P vs A8-5600K benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-5600K is faster than the A12-9720P. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A12-9720P in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A12-9720P has significantly more cores than the A8-5600K. Indeed, the A12-9720P has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A8-5600K. But they both have the same number of threads. A A12-9720P CPU outputs less heat than a A8-5600K 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 A12-9720P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
