A6-3620 vs Core i5-2430M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A6-3620 is faster than the Core i5-2430M. Despite this, the Core i5-2430M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the A6-3620 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i5-2430M has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Core i5-2430M outputs less heat than A6-3620 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 A6-3620 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
