A6-9500 vs Core 2 Duo E7200 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A6-9500 performs better than the Core 2 Duo E7200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E7200 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A6-9500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Duo E7200. 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. The info from our database shows that the Core 2 Duo E7200 has more L2 cache than the A6-9500

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 A6-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
