Core i5-10210U vs FX-8150 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-8150 performs better than the Core i5-10210U. Despite this, the Core i5-10210U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-8150 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-10210U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-10210U CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8150 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 FX-8150 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10210U. The FX-8150 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-10210U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
