A6-3670 vs Core i7-6498DU comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A6-3670 is faster than the Core i7-6498DU. Despite this, the Core i7-6498DU has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A6-3670 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-6498DU. Indeed, the A6-3670 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-6498DU. But they both have the same number of threads.

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.
