A4-5300 vs Pentium B940 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A4-5300 performs better than the Pentium B940. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium B940 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. The Pentium B940 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.
