Intel Core i5-6400T vs AMD A8-7600

Core i5-6400T vs A8-7600 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6400T beats the A8-7600 in overall performance. Despite this, the A8-7600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-6400T has significantly more cores than the A8-7600. Indeed, the Core i5-6400T has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A8-7600. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A8-7600 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-6400T. Also, the A8-7600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6400T 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 i5-6400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
