Core i5-4300U vs A10-8700P comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4300U beats the A10-8700P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-8700P 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 Core i5-4300U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A10-8700P. Despite this, the A10-8700P has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4300U CPU outputs less heat than a A10-8700P 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 A10-8700P has more L2 cache than the Core i5-4300U

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 i5-4300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
