AMD A6-3620 vs Intel Core i5-3210M

A6-3620 vs Core i5-3210M specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A6-3620 performs better than the Core i5-3210M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3210M in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A6-3620 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-3210M. Indeed, the A6-3620 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-3210M. But they both have the same number of threads. The Core i5-3210M 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.
