Intel Core i7-6500U vs AMD A10-7850K

Core i7-6500U vs A10-7850K benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A10-7850K beats the Core i7-6500U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6500U 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 A10-7850K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6500U. A Core i7-6500U 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 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 i7-6500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
