A10-6800K vs FX-8150 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-8150 performs better than the A10-6800K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-6800K in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the FX-8150 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A10-6800K has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the A10-6800K. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-6800K has a slightly higher clock speed than the FX-8150. A A10-6800K CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8150 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the FX-8150 has significantly more L2 cache than the A10-6800K

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.
