A6-9500 vs Pentium 4417U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium 4417U beats the A6-9500 in overall performance. Despite this, the A6-9500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Pentium 4417U has more threads. The Pentium 4417U outputs less heat than A6-9500 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the A6-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
