A6-3620 vs Core i7-5500U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-5500U is faster than the A6-3620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-3620 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A6-3620 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i7-5500U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Core i7-5500U 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.

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.
