A8-5500 vs FX-4130 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A8-5500 beats the FX-4130 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-4130 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. A A8-5500 CPU outputs less heat than a FX-4130 CPU because of its 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. Indeed, the A8-5500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
