A10-6700 vs Core i5-4310M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A10-6700 beats the Core i5-4310M in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-4310M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the A10-6700 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i5-4310M has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-6700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4310M. Also, the A10-6700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4310M outputs less heat than A10-6700 thanks to a significantly 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.
