A10-9600P vs Core i7 Q 740 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7 Q 740 is faster than the A10-9600P. Despite this, the A10-9600P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7 Q 740 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A10-9600P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7 Q 740. In terms of cache, the A10-9600P has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7 Q 740

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.
