Intel Core i5-6200U vs AMD A10-8700P

Core i5-6200U vs A10-8700P comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6200U performs better than the A10-8700P. 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6200U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A10-8700P. Despite this, the A10-8700P has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6200U 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.

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 i5-6200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
