Intel Core i7-7567U vs AMD Athlon II X4 651

Core i7-7567U vs Athlon II X4 651 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Athlon II X4 651 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 core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Athlon II X4 651 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-7567U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7567U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon II X4 651.

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.
