Core i7-7820HQ vs A10-7300 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-7820HQ beats the A10-7300 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7300 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-7820HQ has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-7820HQ has a significantly higher clock speed than the A10-7300. The A10-7300 outputs less heat than Core i7-7820HQ thanks to a 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 i7-7820HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
