Core i5-2410M vs A8-6410 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-2410M beats the A8-6410 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-6410 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A8-6410 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-2410M. Indeed, the A8-6410 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-2410M. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-2410M has a slightly higher clock speed than the A8-6410. The A8-6410 outputs less heat than Core i5-2410M thanks to a 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 A8-6410 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-2410M

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 i5-2410M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
