A10-6700 vs Core i5-4330M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4330M is faster than the A10-6700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-6700 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A10-6700 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5-4330M 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 i5-4330M. Also, the A10-6700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4330M 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.
