Intel Core i3-8130U vs AMD Athlon X4 860K

Core i3-8130U vs Athlon X4 860K specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon X4 860K is faster than the Core i3-8130U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8130U 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 Athlon X4 860K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-8130U. A Core i3-8130U CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 860K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 Athlon X4 860K has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-8130U

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 i3-8130U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
