Core i3-6006U vs PRO A8-8600B benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-6006U is faster than the PRO A8-8600B. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the PRO A8-8600B 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-6006U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the PRO A8-8600B.

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.
