A10-7850K vs Core i7-960 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-960 performs better 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 i7-960 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. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-7850K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-960. A A10-7850K CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-960 CPU because of its slightly 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.
