AMD A6-3620 vs Intel Core i3-3220

A6-3620 vs Core i3-3220 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-3220 beats the A6-3620 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-3620 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A6-3620 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-3220 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Core i3-3220 outputs less heat than A6-3620 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the A6-3620 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
