AMD A6-3670 vs Intel Core i7-4558U

A6-3670 vs Core i7-4558U comparison

In our benchmarks, the A6-3670 beats the Core i7-4558U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4558U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A6-3670 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i7-4558U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Core i7-4558U 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.

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.
