AMD A10-9600P vs Intel Core i3-2100

A10-9600P vs Core i3-2100 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-2100 beats the A10-9600P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-9600P in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A10-9600P has significantly more cores than the Core i3-2100. Indeed, the A10-9600P has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-2100. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-2100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A10-9600P. A A10-9600P CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2100 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. For instance, the A10-9600P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
