A10-6700 vs Core i5-5257U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-5257U is faster than the A10-6700. Despite this, the A10-6700 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 i5-5257U 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 i5-5257U. Also, the A10-6700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-5257U 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. The info from our database shows that the A10-6700 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-5257U

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the A10-6700 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
