AMD A6-9500 vs Intel Core i3-2350M

A6-9500 vs Core i3-2350M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A6-9500 is faster than the Core i3-2350M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-2350M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i3-2350M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A6-9500 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-2350M. The Core i3-2350M outputs less heat than A6-9500 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 A6-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
