A10-8700P vs Core i3-3130M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-8700P is faster than the Core i3-3130M. Despite this, the Core i3-3130M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-3130M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the A10-8700P. 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.

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 A10-8700P has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
