A8-6410 vs Core m3-6Y30 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core m3-6Y30 performs better than the A8-6410. Despite this, the A8-6410 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the A8-6410 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core m3-6Y30 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A8-6410 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core m3-6Y30. The Core m3-6Y30 outputs less heat than A8-6410 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A8-6410 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core m3-6Y30

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 A8-6410 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
