A10-8700P vs Core i5-650 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A10-8700P performs better than the Core i5-650. Despite this, the Core i5-650 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-650 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the A10-8700P. A A10-8700P CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-650 CPU because of its 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.
