Intel Core i7-6500U vs AMD Athlon X4 750K

Core i7-6500U vs Athlon X4 750K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon X4 750K is faster than the Core i7-6500U. Despite this, the Core i7-6500U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon X4 750K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-6500U.

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 i7-6500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
