Intel Core i5-760 vs AMD A8-6600K

Core i5-760 vs A8-6600K comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-760 beats the A8-6600K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-6600K in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-760 has significantly more cores than the A8-6600K. Indeed, the Core i5-760 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A8-6600K. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A8-6600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-760. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A8-6600K has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-760

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-760 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
