FX-4130 vs Core 2 Quad Q9505 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 2 Quad Q9505 is faster than the FX-4130. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-4130 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 2 Quad Q9505 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the FX-4130 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-4130 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 2 Quad Q9505. The Core 2 Quad Q9505 outputs less heat than FX-4130 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 2 Quad Q9505 has more L2 cache than the FX-4130

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the FX-4130 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
