FX-4100 vs Core i5-4310M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-4100 is faster than the Core i5-4310M. Despite this, the Core i5-4310M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-4100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4310M.

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 FX-4100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
