A6-9225 vs Core i3-2328M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-2328M is faster than the A6-9225. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-9225 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-2328M has more threads. Our comparison shows that the A6-9225 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2328M. A A6-9225 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-2328M CPU because of its 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 A6-9225 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
