Intel Core i7-7600U vs AMD A8-6600K

Core i7-7600U vs A8-6600K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-7600U is faster than the A8-6600K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-6600K in all gaming tests too.

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 A8-6600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7600U. Also, the A8-6600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7600U 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.

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 i7-7600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
