AMD A8-6500 vs AMD Athlon X4 760K

A8-6500 vs Athlon X4 760K benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A8-6500 beats the Athlon X4 760K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 760K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon X4 760K has a slightly higher clock speed than the A8-6500. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Athlon X4 760K has significantly more L2 cache than the A8-6500

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 A8-6500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
