A6-9500 vs Pentium N4200 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A6-9500 beats the Pentium N4200 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium N4200 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium N4200 has significantly more cores than the A6-9500. Indeed, the Pentium N4200 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A6-9500. It also has more threads than the A6-9500. With our hardware info, we find that the A6-9500 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Pentium N4200. The Pentium N4200 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.

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.
