Xeon W3580 vs A10-7850K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W3580 is faster than the A10-7850K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-7850K in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W3580 has significantly more cores than the A10-7850K. Indeed, the Xeon W3580 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A10-7850K. It also has more threads than the A10-7850K. With our hardware info, we find that the A10-7850K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon W3580. The A10-7850K outputs less heat than Xeon W3580 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the A10-7850K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon W3580

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 Xeon W3580 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
