A12-9720P vs Core i7-3520M specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3520M 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 Core i7-3520M. Indeed, the A12-9720P has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-3520M. But they both have the same number of threads. A A12-9720P CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3520M 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.
