A10-7850K vs Core i5-4330M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4330M beats the A10-7850K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7850K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A10-7850K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4330M. The Core i5-4330M outputs less heat than A10-7850K thanks to a significantly 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 A10-7850K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
