A6-6400K vs Pentium 4417U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium 4417U is faster than the A6-6400K. Despite this, the A6-6400K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Pentium 4417U has significantly more cores with 2 cores compared to the A6-6400K that has 1 cores. It also has more threads than the A6-6400K. The Pentium 4417U 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the A6-6400K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
