A10-6800K vs Core i7-950 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-6800K is faster than the Core i7-950. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-950 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-950 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the A10-6800K that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the A10-6800K. Our comparison shows that the A10-6800K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-950. Also, the A10-6800K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A A10-6800K CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-950 CPU because of its slightly 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. Indeed, the A10-6800K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
