A10-6700 vs Core i3-4160 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A10-6700 performs better than the Core i3-4160. Despite this, the Core i3-4160 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A10-6700 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-4160 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-6700 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-4160. The Core i3-4160 outputs less heat than A10-6700 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
