A6-3670 vs Athlon X4 870K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A6-3670 is faster than the Athlon X4 870K. Despite this, the Athlon X4 870K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A6-3670 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Athlon X4 870K that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Athlon X4 870K outputs less heat than A6-3670 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 A6-3670 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
