A8-7650K vs Core i7-4600M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4600M is faster than the A8-7650K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-7650K 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 i7-4600M. Also, the A8-7650K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4600M 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 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 A8-7650K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
