A8-7600 vs Core i3-3220 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-7600 is faster than the Core i3-3220. Despite this, the Core i3-3220 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-3220 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A8-7600. The Core i3-3220 outputs less heat than A8-7600 thanks to a slightly 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 A8-7600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
