Intel Core i7-8665U vs AMD A8-7600

Core i7-8665U vs A8-7600 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8665U beats the A8-7600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-7600 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8665U has significantly more cores than the A8-7600. Indeed, the Core i7-8665U has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A8-7600. It also has more threads than the A8-7600. Our comparison shows that the A8-7600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8665U. Despite this, the Core i7-8665U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8665U CPU outputs less heat than a A8-7600 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 i7-8665U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
