A6-6400K vs Pentium 2020M comparison

In our benchmarks, the A6-6400K beats the Pentium 2020M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium 2020M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Pentium 2020M has significantly more cores with 2 cores compared to the A6-6400K that has 1 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A6-6400K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium 2020M. The Pentium 2020M 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.

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. Indeed, the A6-6400K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
