FX-9800P vs Pentium E5400 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the FX-9800P beats the Pentium E5400 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium E5400 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 Pentium E5400. Indeed, the FX-9800P has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium E5400. It also has more threads than the Pentium E5400. In terms of clock speed, the FX-9800P and Pentium E5400 are identical in this regard. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches

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. For instance, the FX-9800P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
