A10-7850K vs Pentium G4520 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Pentium G4520 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 but the A10-7850K has more threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-7850K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium G4520. The Pentium G4520 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A10-7850K has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium G4520

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the A10-7850K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
