A6-3670 vs Core i7-2670QM benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A6-3670 beats the Core i7-2670QM in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2670QM in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-2670QM has more threads. The Core i7-2670QM 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.
