Pentium 3556U vs A9-9420e benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A9-9420e performs better than the Pentium 3556U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 3556U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A9-9420e has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium 3556U.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Pentium 3556U has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
