Intel Core i3-7100U vs AMD A10-9600P

Core i3-7100U vs A10-9600P benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-9600P is faster than the Core i3-7100U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7100U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A10-9600P has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-7100U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i3-7100U and A10-9600P are identical in this regard. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-7100U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
