A8-9600 vs PRO A8-8670E benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A8-9600 beats the PRO A8-8670E in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the PRO A8-8670E 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. With our hardware info, we find that the A8-9600 has a slightly higher clock speed than the PRO A8-8670E. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches

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 A8-9600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
