Pentium G3220T vs A9-9420 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G3220T beats the A9-9420 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A9-9420 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A9-9420 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium G3220T.

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 G3220T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
