AMD A10-7890K vs Intel Xeon E5-1603

A10-7890K vs Xeon E5-1603 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1603 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 Xeon E5-1603 has significantly more cores than the A10-7890K. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1603 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A10-7890K. But they both have the same number of threads. A A10-7890K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1603 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
