A6-5357M vs Core i3-2370M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A6-5357M beats the Core i3-2370M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2370M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-2370M has more threads. Our comparison shows that the A6-5357M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2370M. 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 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 A6-5357M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
