A10-7890K vs Core i7-4810MQ specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4810MQ is faster than the A10-7890K. Despite this, the A10-7890K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-4810MQ has significantly more cores than the A10-7890K. Indeed, the Core i7-4810MQ has 3 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A10-7890K. It also has more threads than the A10-7890K. Our comparison shows that the A10-7890K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4810MQ. Also, the A10-7890K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4810MQ 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 i7-4810MQ

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.
