AMD A6-5200 vs Intel Core i3-4010U

A6-5200 vs Core i3-4010U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4010U beats the A6-5200 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-5200 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A6-5200 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-4010U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A6-5200 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4010U. The Core i3-4010U outputs less heat than A6-5200 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 A6-5200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
