A8-7600 vs Core i3-4150 comparison

In our benchmarks, the A8-7600 beats the Core i3-4150 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-4150 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4150 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A8-7600. The Core i3-4150 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.
