Intel Core i5-2410M vs AMD A9-9420

Core i5-2410M vs A9-9420 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A9-9420 performs better than the Core i5-2410M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2410M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-2410M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A9-9420 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2410M. In terms of cache, the A9-9420 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-2410M

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 i5-2410M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
