AMD A6-6400K vs Intel Core i3-2350M

A6-6400K vs Core i3-2350M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A6-6400K beats the Core i3-2350M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2350M in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-2350M has significantly more cores than the A6-6400K. Indeed, the Core i3-2350M has 2 cores compared to 1 cores found in the A6-6400K. It also has more threads than the A6-6400K. With our hardware info, we find that the A6-6400K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-2350M. The Core i3-2350M outputs less heat than A6-6400K 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. Indeed, the A6-6400K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
