AMD A10-8700P vs Intel Pentium Silver N5030

A10-8700P vs Pentium Silver N5030 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A10-8700P performs better than the Pentium Silver N5030. Despite this, the Pentium Silver N5030 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Pentium Silver N5030 has significantly more cores than the A10-8700P. Indeed, the Pentium Silver N5030 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A10-8700P. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A10-8700P has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N5030. The Pentium Silver N5030 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.
