Core i7-7567U vs A8-6600K benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A8-6600K 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.

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 A8-6600K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-7567U. Also, the A8-6600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7567U CPU outputs less heat than a A8-6600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-7567U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
