A6-5357M vs Core i5-3470 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-3470 is faster than the A6-5357M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-5357M in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-3470 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A6-5357M has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the A6-5357M. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3470 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A6-5357M. Also, the Core i5-3470 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A A6-5357M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-3470 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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.
