A12-9720P vs FX-4130 comparison

In our benchmarks, the FX-4130 beats the A12-9720P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A12-9720P in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A12-9720P has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the FX-4130 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. A A12-9720P CPU outputs less heat than a FX-4130 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.
