Core i3-4030U vs FX-9800P comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-4030U performs better than the FX-9800P. Despite this, the FX-9800P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the FX-9800P has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-4030U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-9800P has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-4030U.

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 i3-4030U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
