A10-7800 vs Core 2 Quad Q9505 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A10-7800 beats the Core 2 Quad Q9505 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q9505 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core 2 Quad Q9505 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A10-7800 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-7800 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 2 Quad Q9505. A A10-7800 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q9505 CPU because of its 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 Core 2 Quad Q9505 has more L2 cache than the A10-7800

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 A10-7800 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
