A6-9500 vs A10-6700 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A10-6700 beats the A6-9500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-9500 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A10-6700 has significantly more cores than the A6-9500. Indeed, the A10-6700 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A6-9500. It also has more threads than the A6-9500. Our comparison shows that the A10-6700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A6-9500. Also, the A10-6700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A10-6700 has significantly more L2 cache than the A6-9500

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the A6-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
