AMD A10-7850K vs Intel Core i7-930

A10-7850K vs Core i7-930 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-930 is faster than the A10-7850K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7850K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-930 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the A10-7850K that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the A10-7850K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A10-7850K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-930. A A10-7850K CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-930 CPU because of its slightly 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.
