Intel Core i3-8145U vs AMD FX-4130

Core i3-8145U vs FX-4130 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-4130 is faster than the Core i3-8145U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8145U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-4130 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8145U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i3-8145U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-4130 CPU because of its significantly 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 FX-4130 has more L2 cache than the Core i3-8145U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i3-8145U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
