A6-9500 vs Core i7-4510U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4510U beats the A6-9500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-9500 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-4510U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A6-9500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4510U. Also, the A6-9500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4510U outputs less heat than A6-9500 thanks to a significantly 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 A6-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
