Core i7-7660U vs A10-7800 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-7660U beats the A10-7800 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7800 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-7800 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7660U. Despite this, the Core i7-7660U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7660U CPU outputs less heat than a A10-7800 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 i7-7660U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
