Core i5-5200U vs A10-8700P benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A10-8700P performs better than the Core i5-5200U. Despite this, the Core i5-5200U 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-5200U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A10-8700P. A Core i5-5200U 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A10-8700P has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-5200U

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 i5-5200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
