Pentium Silver N5000 vs FX-9800P specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Pentium Silver N5000 performs better than the FX-9800P. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-9800P in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-9800P has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N5000.

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 Silver N5000 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
