Intel Core i7-8550U vs AMD A6-6310

Core i7-8550U vs A6-6310 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8550U is faster than the A6-6310. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-6310 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-8550U has more threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i7-8550U and A6-6310 are identical in this regard. 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 A6-6310 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8550U

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 i7-8550U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
