Core i3-8130U vs Athlon II X4 640 specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Athlon II X4 640 beats the Core i3-8130U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-8130U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Athlon II X4 640 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-8130U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon II X4 640 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-8130U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Athlon II X4 640 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-8130U
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 i3-8130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
