Intel Core i7-4558U vs AMD FX-9830P

Core i7-4558U vs FX-9830P comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-9830P performs better than the Core i7-4558U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4558U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the FX-9830P has significantly more cores than the Core i7-4558U. Indeed, the FX-9830P has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-4558U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-9830P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4558U.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-4558U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
