A6-9225 vs Pentium B940 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A6-9225 performs better than the Pentium B940. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium B940 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A6-9225 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium B940. A A6-9225 CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium B940 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the A6-9225 has more L2 cache than the Pentium B940

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 A6-9225 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
