Intel Core i5-6500 vs AMD A8-7600

Core i5-6500 vs A8-7600 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6500 is faster than the A8-7600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-7600 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-6500 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A8-7600 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A8-7600. Despite this, the A8-7600 has a slightly higher turbo 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 info from our database shows that the A8-7600 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-6500

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 i5-6500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
