Core i3-4130 vs Core 2 Quad Q9550 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4130 is faster than the Core 2 Quad Q9550. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q9550 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 2 Quad Q9550 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4130. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q9550 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4130. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4130 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Quad Q9550. A Core i3-4130 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q9550 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core 2 Quad Q9550 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-4130
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-4130 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
