AMD A9-9420e vs Intel Core i7-4712MQ

A9-9420e vs Core i7-4712MQ specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4712MQ beats the A9-9420e in overall performance. Despite this, the A9-9420e has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-4712MQ has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the A9-9420e that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the A9-9420e. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4712MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A9-9420e. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A9-9420e has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-4712MQ

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. For instance, the A9-9420e has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
