Intel Core i7-4600M vs AMD PRO A8-8670E

Core i7-4600M vs PRO A8-8670E benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4600M beats the PRO A8-8670E in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the PRO A8-8670E in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the PRO A8-8670E has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-4600M that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4600M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the PRO A8-8670E.

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 i7-4600M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
