A6-6400K vs Core i3-3120M comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i3-3120M beats the A6-6400K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-6400K in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-3120M has significantly more cores than the A6-6400K. Indeed, the Core i3-3120M has 2 cores compared to 1 cores found in the A6-6400K. It also has more threads than the A6-6400K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A6-6400K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3120M. The Core i3-3120M 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.
