Their accompanying thread will always be beneficial for multi-threaded applications. Multiple threads are useful for improving the performance of multi-threaded applications. Which is not likely to be a limiting factor for gaming.īoth the AMD APU A8-9600 4-Core 3.1GHz and the Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz have the same number of threads.īoth CPUs have one thread per physical core. The APU A8-9600 4-Core and the Core i5-4690 3.5GHz both have 4 cores, Its performance is exceptionally good and enough for even the most demanding applications. The processor integrates powerful Graphics called Intel HD Graphics 4600, with 20 Execution Units, initially clocked at 350MHz and that go up to 1200MHz, in Turbo Mode which share the L2 Cache and system RAM with the processor.īoth the processor and integrated graphics have a rated board TDP of 84W.Ĭompared to Core i5-4670K there's an overall 3% performance boost. It offers 4 Physical Cores (4 Logical), initially clocked at 3.5GHz, which may go up to 3.9GHz and 6MB of 元 Cache.Īmong its many features, Turbo Boost and Virtualization are activated. This is a low-end graphics chip that will struggle to run any modern game at 720p.Ĭore i5-4690 3.5GHz is a high-end CPU based on the 22nm, Haswell architecture.

The APU A8-9600 4-Core 3.1GHz features integrated Radeon R7 3rd Gen GCN graphics with 384 Shaders and a base clock speed of 900MHz.
