A6-5200 vs Core i7 M 620 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A6-5200 is faster than the Core i7 M 620. Despite this, the Core i7 M 620 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A6-5200 has significantly more cores than the Core i7 M 620. Indeed, the A6-5200 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7 M 620. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7 M 620 has a slightly higher clock speed than the A6-5200. The info from our database shows that the A6-5200 has more L2 cache than the Core i7 M 620

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.
