A6-3620 vs Ryzen 5 5500 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 5500 performs better 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 Ryzen 5 5500 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the A6-3620 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the A6-3620. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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.
