FX-9830P vs Athlon II X4 640 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Athlon II X4 640 beats the FX-9830P in overall performance. Despite this, the FX-9830P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. According to our data, the FX-9830P and Athlon II X4 640 have the same clock speed. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache

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-9830P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
