Pentium 3825U vs A9-9420 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A9-9420 performs better than the Pentium 3825U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 3825U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Pentium 3825U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A9-9420 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Pentium 3825U. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A9-9420 has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium 3825U

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. Indeed, the Pentium 3825U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
