Core i5-6200U vs A10-9600P specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A10-9600P beats the Core i5-6200U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6200U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A10-9600P has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i5-6200U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A10-9600P has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6200U. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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