Intel Core i3-7100U vs AMD A8-6500

Core i3-7100U vs A8-6500 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A8-6500 beats the Core i3-7100U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7100U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A8-6500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-7100U. A Core i3-7100U CPU outputs less heat than a A8-6500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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.
