A10-7890K vs Core i5-4570 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4570 beats the A10-7890K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7890K in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-4570 has significantly more cores than the A10-7890K. Indeed, the Core i5-4570 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A10-7890K. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A10-7890K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4570. Also, the A10-7890K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4570 outputs less heat than A10-7890K thanks to a slightly 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.
