A6-9500 vs A9-9420 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A6-9500 beats the A9-9420 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A9-9420 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A6-9500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the A9-9420. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches

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 A6-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
