Core i5-6300U vs A10-6800K specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A10-6800K beats the Core i5-6300U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6300U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-6800K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-6300U. Also, the A10-6800K has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6300U CPU outputs less heat than a A10-6800K 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 i5-6300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
