Intel Core i3-6100 vs AMD A10-6700

Core i3-6100 vs A10-6700 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-6100 beats the A10-6700 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-6700 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A10-6700 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-6100 has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i3-6100 and A10-6700 have the same clock speed. A Core i3-6100 CPU outputs less heat than a A10-6700 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the A10-6700 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-6100

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 i3-6100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
