AMD A10-7800 vs Intel Core i7-3635QM

A10-7800 vs Core i7-3635QM benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3635QM beats the A10-7800 in overall performance. Despite this, the A10-7800 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-3635QM has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the A10-7800 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the A10-7800. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A10-7800 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3635QM. Also, the A10-7800 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-3635QM outputs less heat than A10-7800 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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.
