AMD A8-7410 vs AMD Athlon II X2 240

A8-7410 vs Athlon II X2 240 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A8-7410 performs better than the Athlon II X2 240. Despite this, the Athlon II X2 240 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A8-7410 has significantly more cores than the Athlon II X2 240. Indeed, the A8-7410 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon II X2 240. It also has more threads than the Athlon II X2 240. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon II X2 240 has a slightly higher clock speed than the A8-7410. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache

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 A8-7410 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
