A8-6500 vs Athlon X4 870K comparison
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon X4 870K is faster than the A8-6500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-6500 in all gaming tests too.
Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon X4 870K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A8-6500. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A A8-6500 CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 870K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache
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. Indeed, the A8-6500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
