AMD A10-7860K with Radeon R7 Graphics and Near Silent Thermal Solution vs AMD A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics: Comparison

A10-7860K with Radeon R7 Graphics and vs A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics: the p-core boost clock difference

P-core boost clock is the dividing line, A10-7860K with Radeon R7 Graphics and Up to 4 GHz against A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics Up to 3.2 GHz. Add l2 cache to that, 4 MB on the A10-7860K with Radeon R7 Graphics and versus 2 MB on the A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics, and the pattern holds. Release year is not the same on both, 2016 on the A10-7860K with Radeon R7 Graphics and versus 2015 on the A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics. They differ on igpu too, AMD Radeon R7 Graphics on the A10-7860K with Radeon R7 Graphics and versus AMD Radeon R6 Graphics on the A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics. There is a split on market segment as well, Desktop on the A10-7860K with Radeon R7 Graphics and versus Laptop on the A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics.

Who each one is for

The A10-7860K with Radeon R7 Graphics and is the one to take for A-Series platform upgrades or repairs and budget legacy builds, though it is not the pick for modern gaming or productivity workloads and new builds. The A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics suits A-Series platform upgrades or repairs and budget legacy builds, though it is the wrong buy for modern gaming or productivity workloads and new builds.

Where the two are identical

Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and integrated graphics read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 2 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Do the A10-7860K with Radeon R7 Graphics and and A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics differ on p-core base clock?

Yes. P-Core Base Clock reads 3.6 GHz on the A10-7860K with Radeon R7 Graphics and versus 1.8 GHz on the A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics.

Is the SMT Enabled the same on the A10-7860K with Radeon R7 Graphics and and A10-8700P with Radeon R6 Graphics?

It is. Both are listed at No, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
