Core i5-6400T vs FX-9830P specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6400T performs better than the FX-9830P. Despite this, the FX-9830P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-9830P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6400T.

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. For instance, the Core i5-6400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
