Intel Core i5-8250U vs AMD A10-7850K

Core i5-8250U vs A10-7850K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8250U is faster than the A10-7850K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7850K in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8250U has significantly more cores than the A10-7850K. Indeed, the Core i5-8250U has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A10-7850K. It also has more threads than the A10-7850K. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-7850K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8250U. A Core i5-8250U CPU outputs less heat than a A10-7850K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A10-7850K has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-8250U

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. Indeed, the Core i5-8250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
