Core i3-4130 vs A10-7890K benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-4130 performs better than the A10-7890K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7890K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A10-7890K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4130. A Core i3-4130 CPU outputs less heat than a A10-7890K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A10-7890K has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-4130

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 i3-4130 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
