A10-6700 vs Core 2 Quad Q9505 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A10-6700 beats the Core 2 Quad Q9505 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q9505 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-6700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Quad Q9505. A A10-6700 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q9505 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core 2 Quad Q9505 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the A10-6700

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 A10-6700 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
