Intel Core i3-6006U vs AMD A6-7400K

Core i3-6006U vs A6-7400K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6006U 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 i3-6006U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the A6-7400K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-6006U. A Core i3-6006U 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.

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