Core i3-5005U vs A6-7400K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-5005U is faster than the A6-7400K. Despite this, the A6-7400K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i3-5005U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the A6-7400K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-5005U. A Core i3-5005U CPU outputs less heat than a A6-7400K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the A6-7400K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-5005U

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-5005U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
