Intel Core i7-4810MQ vs AMD Athlon X4 950

Core i7-4810MQ vs Athlon X4 950 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Athlon X4 950 performs better than the Core i7-4810MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4810MQ in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Athlon X4 950 has slightly more cores than the Core i7-4810MQ. Indeed, the Athlon X4 950 has 4 cores compared to 3 cores found in the Core i7-4810MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has more threads than the Athlon X4 950. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon X4 950 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4810MQ. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i7-4810MQ CPU outputs less heat than a Athlon X4 950 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Athlon X4 950 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-4810MQ

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 i7-4810MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
