A8-6410 vs Core i3-4010U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-4010U performs better than the A8-6410. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-6410 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A8-6410 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-4010U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A8-6410 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4010U. 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.

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 A8-6410 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
