A6-9220 vs Core i3-3217U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-3217U beats the A6-9220 in overall performance. Despite this, the A6-9220 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i3-3217U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the A6-9220 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-3217U. A A6-9220 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-3217U CPU because of its slightly 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. For instance, the A6-9220 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
