Intel Core i7-7700 vs AMD A8-9600

Core i7-7700 vs A8-9600 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-7700 beats the A8-9600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-9600 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-7700 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A8-9600. Also, the Core i7-7700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A8-9600 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-7700

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 i7-7700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
