In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 9 7900X3D has significantly more cores than the FX-9800P. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 7900X3D has 12 cores compared to 4 cores found in the FX-9800P. It also has more threads than the FX-9800P. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 7900X3D has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the FX-9800P. The info from our database shows that the Ryzen 9 7900X3D has more L2 cache than the FX-9800P

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the FX-9800P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
