A4-3300M vs Core 2 Duo E6550 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 2 Duo E6550 is faster than the A4-3300M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A4-3300M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the A4-3300M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
