A6-7310 vs Core i7-4510U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4510U beats the A6-7310 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-7310 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A6-7310 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i7-4510U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. According to our data, the A6-7310 and Core i7-4510U have the same clock speed. The Core i7-4510U outputs less heat than A6-7310 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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 A6-7310 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
