Core i7-7500U vs A10-7890K specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A10-7890K beats the Core i7-7500U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-7500U 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. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-7890K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-7500U. Also, the A10-7890K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7500U CPU outputs less heat than a A10-7890K 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 i7-7500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
