FX-4130 vs Core i7-8500Y comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8500Y is faster than the FX-4130. Despite this, the FX-4130 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. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-4130 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8500Y. The Core i7-8500Y 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.

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-4130 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
