Core i3-8130U vs A10-7850K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-8130U is faster than the A10-7850K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7850K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-7850K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8130U. A Core i3-8130U 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 i3-8130U

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-8130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
