A10-8700P vs Core i7-4500U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-8700P is faster than the Core i7-4500U. Despite this, the Core i7-4500U 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. Both the A10-8700P and Core i7-4500U have the same clock speed. The Core i7-4500U 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.

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.
