AMD A6-3620 vs Intel Core i7 Q 740

A6-3620 vs Core i7 Q 740 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A6-3620 beats the Core i7 Q 740 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7 Q 740 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7 Q 740 has more threads.

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.
