AMD A6-3650 vs Intel Core i3-3220

A6-3650 vs Core i3-3220 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3220 performs better than the A6-3650. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-3650 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A6-3650 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-3220 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Core i3-3220 outputs less heat than A6-3650 thanks to a significantly 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.
