FX-9830P vs Phenom II X4 945 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Phenom II X4 945 beats the FX-9830P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-9830P in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Both the FX-9830P and Phenom II X4 945 have the same clock speed. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same 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.
