Celeron N4020 vs A9-9420 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A9-9420 is faster than the Celeron N4020. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Celeron N4020 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A9-9420 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron N4020.

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 Celeron N4020 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
