A6-6310 vs Core i7-2670QM benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A6-6310 is faster than the Core i7-2670QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2670QM in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-2670QM has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-2670QM has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A6-6310. Also, the Core i7-2670QM has a slightly higher turbo speed. A A6-6310 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-2670QM CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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