A10-8700P vs Core i5-2450M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-2450M performs better than the A10-8700P. Despite this, the A10-8700P 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-2450M has a slightly higher clock speed than the A10-8700P. Despite this, the A10-8700P 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.

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.
