A10-6700 vs FX-870K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-6700 is faster than the FX-870K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-870K 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 FX-870K. Indeed, the A10-6700 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the FX-870K. 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 FX-870K. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the A10-6700 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
