AMD A10-6800K vs Intel Core i7-4558U

A10-6800K vs Core i7-4558U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-6800K is faster than the Core i7-4558U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4558U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A10-6800K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4558U. Also, the A10-6800K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4558U 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.

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