Core i3-4130 vs A8-7650K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-7650K is faster than the Core i3-4130. Despite this, the Core i3-4130 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4130 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A8-7650K. A Core i3-4130 CPU outputs less heat than a A8-7650K CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the A8-7650K has more L2 cache than the Core i3-4130

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