A10-6700 vs Core i3-4170 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4170 is faster than the A10-6700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-6700 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A10-6700 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-4170 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. According to our data, the A10-6700 and Core i3-4170 have the same clock speed. The Core i3-4170 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.
