A6-9220 vs Core i3-4020Y specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-4020Y is faster than the A6-9220. 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 i3-4020Y has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A6-9220 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-4020Y. The Core i3-4020Y outputs less heat than A6-9220 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. For instance, the A6-9220 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
