Core i5-9400F vs Core i3-4130 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9400F performs better than the Core i3-4130. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4130 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-9400F has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4130. Indeed, the Core i5-9400F has 6 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4130. It also has more threads than the Core i3-4130. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-4130 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-9400F. The Core i3-4130 outputs less heat than Core i5-9400F thanks to a slightly 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 Core i5-9400F has more L2 cache than the Core i3-4130. The Core i5-9400F also has significantly more 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. For instance, the Core i5-9400F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
