A6-9225 vs Core i5-1235U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-1235U 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 core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1235U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the A6-9225 that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the A6-9225. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A6-9225 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1235U. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-1235U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the A6-9225

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.
