Different architecture question

[evilmeister13]

Ive always heard that newer architectures give better performance. So heres my question. The fx-4130 runs at 3.8GHz with 4 cores and gives off considerable heat and uses quite a bit of power. Will an A10-5800k, which has the same amount of cores and running at the same clock speed, perform better or worse? I believe it uses a little less power, but what would the heat output be, considering it has gpu cores as well? In terms of pure cpu performance which would perform better?

The architecture determines the cpi among other things. And you need to know both the cpi and clock speed to determine the overall performance, so its hard to say

The A10-5800K should perform a bit better than the 4130.  It uses an updated version of the Bulldozer architecture in the 4130.

Despite the FX 4130s name it's actually based on Piledriver not Bulldozer so it features the same architecture as the 5800K but has an additional 4mb of L3 cache.

It overclocks slightly better & due to the L3 cache is ever so slightly faster.

Heatwise about the same, unless integrated video is disabled the A10 probably wins as it doesn't have 384 VLIW4 cores pumping out heat then.

Thats what i was thinking, and i knew the 4130 would be better for OC because thats what the FX series was really all about, raw power. I was just wondering about at stock speeds and whatnot.

the architecture defines the tech implemented in the CPU/GPU and features it happens to support  ,the way it handles and consumes power , the way it connects it's CORES and layouts to other Computer parts and DRIVERS ,APIs ,apps ,the newer the architecture is the more efficient it becomes ,is the commune change that newer architecture does ,take Fermi for ex ,it consumed doble the amount of power current Kepler does ,and still it didn't handle it as efficient as Kepler
