A8-9600 vs Core i7-4810MQ specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4810MQ is faster than the A8-9600. Despite this, the A8-9600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the A8-9600 has slightly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i7-4810MQ has 3 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has more threads than the A8-9600. Our comparison shows that the A8-9600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4810MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4810MQ outputs less heat than A8-9600 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 A8-9600 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-4810MQ

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. For instance, the A8-9600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
