Core i3-6100 vs A10-7850K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-6100 performs better than the A10-7850K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7850K in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i3-6100 and A10-7850K have the same clock speed. A Core i3-6100 CPU outputs less heat than a A10-7850K 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 A10-7850K has more L2 cache than the Core i3-6100

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 i3-6100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
