A8-7650K vs Pentium G4520 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A8-7650K performs better than the Pentium G4520. Despite this, the Pentium G4520 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the A8-7650K has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Pentium G4520 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A8-7650K. The Pentium G4520 outputs less heat than A8-7650K thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the A8-7650K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to 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 A8-7650K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
