Core i3-2130 vs Athlon II X4 651 benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Athlon II X4 651 beats the Core i3-2130 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-2130 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Athlon II X4 651 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-2130. Indeed, the Athlon II X4 651 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-2130. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-2130 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon II X4 651.
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. Indeed, the Core i3-2130 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
