A6-5350M vs Core i3-4020Y benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4020Y beats the A6-5350M in overall performance. Despite this, the A6-5350M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-4020Y has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A6-5350M has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-4020Y. The Core i3-4020Y outputs less heat than A6-5350M thanks to a significantly 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 A6-5350M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
