A10-8700P vs Core i5-4210U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-8700P is faster than the Core i5-4210U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4210U in all gaming tests too.

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 A10-8700P has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4210U. The Core i5-4210U outputs less heat than A10-8700P thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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