A10-6800K vs Pentium G4520 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-6800K is faster than the Pentium G4520. Despite this, the Pentium G4520 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the A10-6800K has more threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-6800K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4520. The Pentium G4520 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 info from our database shows that the A10-6800K has more L2 cache than the Pentium G4520

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.
