Pentium N3710 vs A9-9420e benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium N3710 performs better than the A9-9420e. Despite this, the A9-9420e has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium N3710 has significantly more cores than the A9-9420e. Indeed, the Pentium N3710 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A9-9420e. It also has more threads than the A9-9420e. With our hardware info, we find that the A9-9420e has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium N3710.

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 Pentium N3710 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
