FX-4130 vs Core i5-4200H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the FX-4130 beats the Core i5-4200H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-4200H 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-4130 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200H. The Core i5-4200H outputs less heat than FX-4130 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
