A8-5600K vs FX-4130 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the FX-4130 beats the A8-5600K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5600K 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 A8-5600K CPU outputs less heat than a FX-4130 CPU because of its slightly 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. Indeed, the A8-5600K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
