Core i5-6440HQ vs FX-4130 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6440HQ is faster than the FX-4130. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-4130 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-6440HQ has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the FX-4130 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-4130 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-6440HQ. A Core i5-6440HQ 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 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 i5-6440HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
