A10-7800 vs Core i3-4160 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-7800 is faster than the Core i3-4160. Despite this, the Core i3-4160 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4160 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A10-7800. The Core i3-4160 outputs less heat than A10-7800 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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