A8-5600K vs Core i5-750 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-750 is faster than the A8-5600K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5600K in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-750 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A8-5600K has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Core i5-750 outputs less heat than A8-5600K thanks to a slightly 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.
