A6-5350M vs Pentium B940 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium B940 is faster than the A6-5350M. Despite this, the A6-5350M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A6-5350M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium B940. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the A6-5350M has more L2 cache than the Pentium B940

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.
