A4-3300M vs Core i7-2670QM comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-2670QM performs better than the A4-3300M. Despite this, the A4-3300M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-2670QM has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A4-3300M has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the A4-3300M. The Core i7-2670QM outputs less heat than A4-3300M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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.
