Intel Core i5-6300U vs AMD A10-9600P

Core i5-6300U vs A10-9600P specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6300U performs better than the A10-9600P. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-9600P in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A10-9600P has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i5-6300U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Both the Core i5-6300U and A10-9600P have the same clock speed. 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 i5-6300U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
