A6-5357M vs Core i3-4020Y comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A6-5357M is faster than the Core i3-4020Y. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4020Y in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-4020Y has more threads. Our comparison shows that the A6-5357M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-4020Y. The Core i3-4020Y outputs less heat than A6-5357M 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 A6-5357M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
