A12-9720P vs Core i5-4570 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4570 beats the A12-9720P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A12-9720P in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. A A12-9720P CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4570 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.
