A8-7650K vs FX-4130 comparison

In our benchmarks, the A8-7650K beats the FX-4130 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-4130 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-4130 has a slightly higher clock speed than the A8-7650K. Also, the FX-4130 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A A8-7650K 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the A8-7650K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
