A10-7890K vs Athlon Silver 7120U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A10-7890K performs better than the Athlon Silver 7120U. Despite this, the Athlon Silver 7120U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the A10-7890K has more threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-7890K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Silver 7120U. Also, the A10-7890K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Athlon Silver 7120U outputs less heat than A10-7890K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the A10-7890K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Athlon Silver 7120U

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 A10-7890K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
