Core i5-760 vs A8-9600 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A8-9600 beats the Core i5-760 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-760 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A8-9600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-760. Also, the A8-9600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The A8-9600 outputs less heat than Core i5-760 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the A8-9600 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to 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.
