Intel Core i3-6006U vs AMD A6-7310

Core i3-6006U vs A6-7310 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-6006U beats the A6-7310 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-7310 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A6-7310 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-6006U. Indeed, the A6-7310 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-6006U. But they both have the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i3-6006U and A6-7310 are identical in this regard. A Core i3-6006U CPU outputs less heat than a A6-7310 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i3-6006U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
