A8-7650K vs Athlon Silver 7120U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-7650K is faster than the Athlon Silver 7120U. Despite this, the Athlon Silver 7120U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the A8-7650K has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A8-7650K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon Silver 7120U. Also, the A8-7650K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Athlon Silver 7120U outputs less heat than A8-7650K thanks to a significantly 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 A8-7650K has significantly more L2 cache than the Athlon Silver 7120U

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 A8-7650K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
