A6-3650 vs A8-5600K comparison

In our benchmarks, the A8-5600K beats the A6-3650 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-3650 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A6-3650 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A8-5600K has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the A6-3650 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
