Intel Core i5-7200U vs AMD A8-7650K

Core i5-7200U vs A8-7650K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-7650K is faster than the Core i5-7200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7200U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A8-7650K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7200U. Also, the A8-7650K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7200U CPU outputs less heat than a A8-7650K 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 i5-7200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
