Intel Core i5-6300HQ vs AMD A8-7600

Core i5-6300HQ vs A8-7600 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A8-7600 beats the Core i5-6300HQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6300HQ in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-6300HQ has significantly more cores than the A8-7600. Indeed, the Core i5-6300HQ has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A8-7600. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A8-7600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6300HQ. Also, the A8-7600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6300HQ CPU outputs less heat than a A8-7600 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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. For instance, the Core i5-6300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
