Intel Core i7-7660U vs AMD A10-7850K

Core i7-7660U vs A10-7850K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-7660U performs better than the A10-7850K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7850K in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A10-7850K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7660U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i7-7660U CPU outputs less heat than a A10-7850K 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 i7-7660U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
