The AMD Athlon X4 860K is a quad core budget processor. Released in mid 2014, the 860K is based on the steamroller architecture which also powers some of AMD's more recent APUs including the A10-7850K. In addition to a 3.7 GHz steamroller chip, the A10-7850K also includes integrated R7 graphics. Comparing the CPU performance of the A10-7850K and 860K shows that the two processors perform almost identically. A key comparable for the 860K is Intel's G3258 which is an unlocked dual core Pentium. Comparing the G3258 and X4 860K shows that the G3258 leads by as much as 70% for dual and single core workloads but the 860K outperforms the G3258 by around 20% on multi-core workloads. The G3258 wins hands down for Desktop computing which is heavily single and dual core dominated but for some (relatively rare) gaming workloads the X4 860K will outperform the G3258. [Mar '15 CPUPro]

The AMD A10-6700 is a quad-core Richland APU (CPU+GPU) based on second generation Bulldozer micro-architecture (code named Piledriver) launched in Q3 of 2013. The A10-6700 is the power efficient (TDP of 65 Watts) version of the A10-6800K (TDP of 100 Watts) and is only slightly slower, scoring an effective speed of 68 versus the A10-6800K’s 73. Its base clock speed is 3.7 GHz which automatically turbo boosts to 4.3 GHz when needed and is sufficient for most generic desktop applications. The integrated HD 8670 Graphics are comparable to Intel's recent HD offerings. The A10-6700 offers reasonable performance at a reasonable price point. But comparing the A10-6700 and i3-4360 shows that the comparably priced 4360 wins hands down on nearly every metric, and is therefore a better alternative. [Dec '14 CPUPro]
