AMD A6-6310 vs Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200

A6-6310 vs Core 2 Quad Q8200 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A6-6310 beats the Core 2 Quad Q8200 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q8200 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Quad Q8200 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A6-6310. A A6-6310 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q8200 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache

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 A6-6310 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
