Intel Core i7-6560U vs AMD A10-8700P

Core i7-6560U vs A10-8700P specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6560U beats the A10-8700P in overall performance. Despite this, the A10-8700P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-6560U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A10-8700P. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i7-6560U CPU outputs less heat than a A10-8700P CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-6560U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
