AMD A10-6700 vs Intel Core i7-5600U

A10-6700 vs Core i7-5600U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A10-6700 performs better than the Core i7-5600U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-5600U 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 i7-5600U. Indeed, the A10-6700 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-5600U. 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 i7-5600U. Also, the A10-6700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-5600U 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 i7-5600U

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.
