A8-9600 vs Core i5-750 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-9600 is faster than the Core i5-750. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-750 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A8-9600 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-750. Also, the A8-9600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A A8-9600 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-750 CPU because of its 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. For instance, the A8-9600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
