A12-9720P vs Celeron G3930 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A12-9720P is faster than the Celeron G3930. Despite this, the Celeron G3930 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A12-9720P has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Celeron G3930 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Celeron G3930. A A12-9720P CPU outputs less heat than a Celeron G3930 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 A12-9720P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
