A10-7890K vs Core i3-1005G1 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-1005G1 beats the A10-7890K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7890K 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. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-7890K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-1005G1. Also, the A10-7890K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1005G1 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 Core i3-1005G1

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