AMD A10-9600P vs Intel Core i3-3220

A10-9600P vs Core i3-3220 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-3220 beats the A10-9600P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-9600P in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A10-9600P has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-3220 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-3220 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A10-9600P. A A10-9600P CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-3220 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. For instance, the A10-9600P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
