Intel Core i3-8109U vs AMD A10-9600P

Core i3-8109U vs A10-9600P specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A10-9600P performs better than the Core i3-8109U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8109U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A10-9600P has significantly more cores than the Core i3-8109U. Indeed, the A10-9600P has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-8109U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8109U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A10-9600P. The A10-9600P outputs less heat than Core i3-8109U thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the A10-9600P has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-8109U

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 i3-8109U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
