A10-6800K vs. Core i3-4150 CPU Review
The Reviewed CPUs
Contents
Altough the two CPUs tested in this review, the A10-6800K and the Core i3-4150, are not competitors to the A6-6400K and the Pentium G3220, we included the data collected for these two CPUs, which were tested under the same methodology, in order to show the performance difference between mainstream and the value CPUs that make use of the same platform.
In the tables below, we compare the main features of the CPUs included in our review.
| CPU | Cores | HT | IGP | Internal Clock | Turbo Clock | Base Clock | Core | Tech. | TDP | Socket | Price |
| A10-6800K | 4 | No | Yes | 4.1 GHz | 4.4 GHz | 100 MHz | Richland | 32 nm | 100 W | FM2 | USD 125 |
| Core i3-4150 | 2 | Yes | Yes | 3.5 GHz | – | 100 MHz | Haswell | 22 nm | 54 W | LGA1150 | USD 123 |
| A6-6400K | 2 | No | Yes | 3.9 GHz | 4.1 GHz | 100 MHz | Richland | 32 nm | 65 W | FM2 | USD 53 |
| Pentium G3220 | 2 | No | Yes | 3.0 GHz | – | 100 MHz | Haswell | 22 nm | 53 W | LGA1150 | USD 53 |
Prices were researched at Newegg.com on the day we published this review. TDP stands for Thermal Design Power and states the maximum amount of heat the CPU can dissipate.
