AMD A6-3650 vs Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650

A6-3650 vs Core 2 Quad Q9650 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A6-3650 is faster than the Core 2 Quad Q9650. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q9650 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. The Core 2 Quad Q9650 outputs less heat than A6-3650 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the A6-3650 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
