AMD A10-7850K vs Intel Core i7-3520M

A10-7850K vs Core i7-3520M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A10-7850K performs better than the Core i7-3520M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3520M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number 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 i7-3520M. The Core i7-3520M 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the A10-7850K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
