A8-4500M vs FX-9800P specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A8-4500M performs better than the FX-9800P. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-9800P in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the FX-9800P has significantly more cores than the A8-4500M. Indeed, the FX-9800P has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A8-4500M. But they both have the same number of threads.
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. Indeed, the A8-4500M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
