AMD A10-7870K is a Desktop processor with 4 cores and 0 threads. It runs at 3.9 GHz and boosts up to 4.1 GHz. It records a PassMark CPU Mark of 3508 and a single-thread rating of 1541. Its stated TDP is 95 W.
Specification context
The AMD A10-7870K is a Desktop released in 2015. Recorded specifications include up to 4.10 GHz turbo, a 95 W reference TDP, a 3,508 CPU Mark. Use these figures to understand its position, then compare the results with your software and the complete platform.
The 3,508 CPU Mark is a broad overall-performance measure, while the 1,541 single-thread result adds context for less-parallel work. Compare the nearby alternatives on this page and do not treat one score as a verdict for every application.
It uses socket FM2. A matching socket is only the first check; confirm the official motherboard CPU-support list, BIOS revision and board power limits.
The 95 W TDP helps size the cooling class, but it is not the same as peak wall-power consumption.
FAQ
The main recorded details are up to 4.10 GHz turbo, a 95 W reference TDP, a 3,508 CPU Mark. The tables on this page show socket, memory, cache and graphics data when available.
The product name or CPU Mark alone cannot answer that. Check single-thread performance, core count, the target graphics card, gaming resolution and results from the games you play.
Start with FM2 motherboards, then confirm the official CPU-support list and required BIOS revision for the exact board before buying.
The recorded reference TDP is 95 W. Real consumption can be lower or higher depending on power limits, motherboard, workload and cooling.
This guidance interprets recorded specifications and results; it does not claim hands-on device testing. Results can vary with motherboard, power, memory and cooling.
