A10-7850K vs Core i5-750 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-750 beats the A10-7850K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7850K in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-750 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A10-7850K has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-7850K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-750. 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.

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.
