Core i3-8145U vs A10-7850K specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-7850K is faster than the Core i3-8145U. Despite this, the Core i3-8145U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount 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 i3-8145U. A Core i3-8145U 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. In terms of cache, the A10-7850K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-8145U

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 i3-8145U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
