Intel Core i3-8100 vs AMD A10-7800

Core i3-8100 vs A10-7800 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-8100 is faster than the A10-7800. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7800 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-8100 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the A10-7800 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-8100 has a slightly higher clock speed than the A10-7800. Despite this, the A10-7800 has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A10-7800 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-8100

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. For instance, the Core i3-8100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
