A8-6600K vs Core i7-4810MQ benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4810MQ is faster than the A8-6600K. Despite this, the A8-6600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-4810MQ has significantly more cores with 3 cores compared to the A8-6600K that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the A8-6600K. Our comparison shows that the A8-6600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4810MQ. Also, the A8-6600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4810MQ outputs less heat than A8-6600K thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the A8-6600K has more L2 cache than the Core i7-4810MQ

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 A8-6600K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
