A6-7400K vs Core i3-2328M comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-2328M performs better than the A6-7400K. Despite this, the A6-7400K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-2328M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A6-7400K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2328M. The Core i3-2328M outputs less heat than A6-7400K 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. For instance, the A6-7400K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
