A8-6500 vs Core i7-950 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-6500 is faster than the Core i7-950. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-950 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-950 has significantly more cores than the A8-6500. Indeed, the Core i7-950 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A8-6500. It also has more threads than the A8-6500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A8-6500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-950. Also, the A8-6500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A A8-6500 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-950 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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.
