Intel Pentium N4200 vs AMD Athlon II X2 220

Pentium N4200 vs Athlon II X2 220 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon II X2 220 is faster than the Pentium N4200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium N4200 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium N4200 has significantly more cores than the Athlon II X2 220. Indeed, the Pentium N4200 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon II X2 220. It also has more threads than the Athlon II X2 220. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon II X2 220 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium N4200.

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 N4200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
