A6-3670 vs A8-6500 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A6-3670 is faster than the A8-6500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-6500 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A6-3670 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the A8-6500 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The A8-6500 outputs less heat than A6-3670 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 A6-3670 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
