A10-7800 vs Core i5-2400S comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-2400S performs better than the A10-7800. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7800 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-2400S 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 i5-2400S. Also, the A10-7800 has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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.

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.
