Core i5-2410M vs A9-9425 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-2410M beats the A9-9425 in overall performance. Despite this, the A9-9425 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 A9-9425 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2410M. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A9-9425 has significantly more L2 cache than 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.
