Intel Core i3-2350M vs AMD FX-9800P

Core i3-2350M vs FX-9800P comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-2350M beats the FX-9800P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-9800P in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the FX-9800P has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-2350M that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-9800P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2350M.

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. Indeed, the Core i3-2350M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
