Intel Core i7-7660U vs AMD PRO A8-8670E

Core i7-7660U vs PRO A8-8670E comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-7660U is faster than the PRO A8-8670E. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the PRO A8-8670E in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the PRO A8-8670E has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-7660U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the PRO A8-8670E has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7660U.

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 i7-7660U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
