Core i3-10110U vs Athlon X4 870K benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-10110U performs better than the Athlon X4 870K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 870K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon X4 870K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-10110U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i3-10110U CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 870K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Athlon X4 870K has more L2 cache than the Core i3-10110U

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