Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD PRO A12-9800

  • Around 46% lower typical power consumption: 65 Watt vs 95 Watt
Thermal Design Power (TDP) 65 Watt vs 95 Watt

Reasons to consider the AMD Ryzen 5 2600X

  • CPU is newer: launch date 1 year(s) 6 month(s) later
  • Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
  • 2 more cores, run more applications at once: 6 vs 4
  • Around 6% higher maximum core temperature: 95°C vs 90°C
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 12 nm FinFET vs 28 nm
  • Around 50% more L2 cache; more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
  • Around 41% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 2385 vs 1686
  • 3.8x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 13920 vs 3705
