A10-9600P vs Core i7-3517U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3517U performs better than the A10-9600P. 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 i7-3517U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-9600P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3517U. A A10-9600P CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-3517U CPU because of its slightly 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.
