A8-7600 vs Core i5-4330M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4330M is faster than the A8-7600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-7600 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A8-7600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4330M. Also, the A8-7600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4330M outputs less heat than A8-7600 thanks to a 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 A8-7600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
