A10-8700P vs Pentium G3258 comparison

In our benchmarks, the A10-8700P beats the Pentium G3258 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium G3258 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the A10-8700P has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Pentium G3258 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the A10-8700P. A A10-8700P CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium G3258 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the A10-8700P has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
