A6-3670 vs Core i7-860 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A6-3670 is faster than the Core i7-860. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-860 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-860 has more threads. The Core i7-860 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.
