AMD A8-6500 vs Intel Core i7-6498DU

A8-6500 vs Core i7-6498DU benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6498DU 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. With our hardware info, we find that the A8-6500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6498DU. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A8-6500 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-6498DU

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.
