Intel Core i3-6006U vs AMD A8-4500M

Core i3-6006U vs A8-4500M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-6006U performs better than the A8-4500M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-4500M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. A Core i3-6006U CPU outputs less heat than a A8-4500M 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.
