FX-9800P vs Athlon II X2 240 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-9800P performs better than the Athlon II X2 240. Despite this, the Athlon II X2 240 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the FX-9800P has significantly more cores than the Athlon II X2 240. Indeed, the FX-9800P has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon II X2 240. It also has more threads than the Athlon II X2 240. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon II X2 240 has a slightly higher clock speed than the FX-9800P. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache
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. For instance, the FX-9800P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
