A10-7800 vs Core i3-2130 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-2130 beats the A10-7800 in overall performance. Despite this, the A10-7800 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-7800 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i3-2130. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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