Intel Core i3-10110U vs AMD Athlon X4 860K

Core i3-10110U vs Athlon X4 860K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon X4 860K performs better than the Core i3-10110U. Despite this, the Core i3-10110U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon X4 860K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-10110U. A Core i3-10110U CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 860K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Athlon X4 860K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-10110U

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 i3-10110U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
