FX-4130 vs Core i7-4558U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the FX-4130 is faster than the Core i7-4558U. Despite this, the Core i7-4558U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount 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 i7-4558U. The Core i7-4558U 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.
