A10-6700 vs Core i7-2630QM comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-2630QM is faster than the A10-6700. Despite this, the A10-6700 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-2630QM has more threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-6700 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-2630QM. Also, the A10-6700 has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-2630QM 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.
