A10-7890K vs Core i5-4460T specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A10-7890K beats the Core i5-4460T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4460T in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-4460T has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A10-7890K has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-7890K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4460T. Also, the A10-7890K has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4460T 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.

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.
