A10-6700 vs Core i5-4200H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-6700 is faster than the Core i5-4200H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4200H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A10-6700 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4200H. Indeed, the A10-6700 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-4200H. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A10-6700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4200H. Also, the A10-6700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4200H 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.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the A10-6700 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
