Core i7-7567U vs A8-6500 comparison

In our benchmarks, the A8-6500 beats the Core i7-7567U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7567U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i7-7567U and A8-6500 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the A8-6500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7567U CPU outputs less heat than a A8-6500 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 i7-7567U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
