Intel Core i3-1005G1 vs AMD PRO A8-8670E

Core i3-1005G1 vs PRO A8-8670E benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-1005G1 is faster than the PRO A8-8670E. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the PRO A8-8670E in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the PRO A8-8670E has significantly more cores than the Core i3-1005G1. Indeed, the PRO A8-8670E has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-1005G1. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the PRO A8-8670E has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-1005G1. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the PRO A8-8670E has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-1005G1

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. Indeed, the Core i3-1005G1 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
