A6-3620 vs Core 2 Quad Q6600 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A6-3620 performs better than the Core 2 Quad Q6600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q6600 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. A A6-3620 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU because of its 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 A6-3620 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
