AMD A8-7650K vs Intel Core i7-3520M

A8-7650K vs Core i7-3520M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-7650K is faster than the Core i7-3520M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3520M in all gaming tests too.

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 A8-7650K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3520M. Also, the A8-7650K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-3520M 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.

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