FX-9830P vs Core 2 Quad Q9505 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core 2 Quad Q9505 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. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-9830P has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 2 Quad Q9505. In terms of cache, the Core 2 Quad Q9505 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the FX-9830P

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.
