A10-7800 vs Core 2 Quad Q9650 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 2 Quad Q9650 performs better than the A10-7800. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7800 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 2 Quad Q9650 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the A10-7800 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-7800 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Quad Q9650. A A10-7800 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q9650 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 Q9650 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.
