A8-7600 vs Core 2 Quad Q9550 benchmarks
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 2 Quad Q9550 is faster than the A8-7600. Despite this, the A8-7600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
With info from our database, we find that the Core 2 Quad Q9550 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A8-7600 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A8-7600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Quad Q9550. A A8-7600 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q9550 CPU because of its significantly 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 Core 2 Quad Q9550 has more L2 cache than the A8-7600
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 A8-7600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
