A6-3650 vs Core i7-950 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A6-3650 performs better than the Core i7-950. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-950 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-950 has more threads. A A6-3650 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-950 CPU because of its slightly 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.
