AMD A6-3650 vs Intel Core i7-4500U

A6-3650 vs Core i7-4500U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A6-3650 beats the Core i7-4500U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4500U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A6-3650 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-4500U. Indeed, the A6-3650 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-4500U. But they both have the same number of threads. The Core i7-4500U 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.

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 A6-3650 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
