A6-3620 vs Pentium G3240 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A6-3620 beats the Pentium G3240 in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium G3240 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A6-3620 has significantly more cores than the Pentium G3240. Indeed, the A6-3620 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium G3240. It also has more threads than the Pentium G3240. The Pentium G3240 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.
