A10-6800K vs Core i3-4340 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4340 is faster than the A10-6800K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-6800K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-6800K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4340. The Core i3-4340 outputs less heat than A10-6800K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the A10-6800K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
