A6-5200 vs Core 2 Quad Q8200 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core 2 Quad Q8200 beats the A6-5200 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-5200 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Quad Q8200 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A6-5200. A A6-5200 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q8200 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the A6-5200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
