AMD A6-3670 vs Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550

A6-3670 vs Core 2 Quad Q9550 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A6-3670 performs better than the Core 2 Quad Q9550. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q9550 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. The Core 2 Quad Q9550 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.

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 A6-3670 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
