A10-7890K vs PRO A8-8670E benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the PRO A8-8670E is faster than the A10-7890K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7890K in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the PRO A8-8670E has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A10-7890K has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-7890K has a significantly higher clock speed than the PRO A8-8670E. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A10-7890K has significantly more L2 cache than the PRO A8-8670E

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.
