A4-9125 vs Core i3-4005U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4005U beats the A4-9125 in overall performance. Despite this, the A4-9125 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-4005U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the A4-9125 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4005U. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the A4-9125 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
