A10-9600P vs Core i7-4600U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-9600P is faster than the Core i7-4600U. Despite this, the Core i7-4600U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the A10-9600P has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i7-4600U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-9600P has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4600U. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the A10-9600P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
