A4-5300 vs A9-9420 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A9-9420 is faster than the A4-5300. Despite this, the A4-5300 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. The A9-9420 outputs less heat than A4-5300 thanks to a 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 A4-5300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
