A10-7890K vs Core i7-870 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-870 performs better than the A10-7890K. 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 i7-870 has significantly more cores than the A10-7890K. Indeed, the Core i7-870 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A10-7890K. It also has more threads than the A10-7890K. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-7890K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-870. Also, the A10-7890K has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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.
