A8-5600K vs A8-6500 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-6500 is faster than the A8-5600K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5600K in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. The A8-6500 outputs less heat than A8-5600K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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. Indeed, the A8-5600K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
