AMD A10-9600P vs Intel Core i3-4160

A10-9600P vs Core i3-4160 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4160 is faster than the A10-9600P. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-9600P in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A10-9600P has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-4160 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4160 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the A10-9600P. A A10-9600P CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-4160 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.
