A10-7890K vs Pentium G4520 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium G4520 is faster than the A10-7890K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7890K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the A10-7890K has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-7890K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Pentium G4520. The Pentium G4520 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 Pentium G4520

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the A10-7890K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
