A8-7600 vs Pentium G4520 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-7600 is faster than the Pentium G4520. Despite this, the Pentium G4520 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the A8-7600 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4520 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A8-7600. The Pentium G4520 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A8-7600 has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium G4520

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the A8-7600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
