Intel Core i3-6100 vs AMD A6-3670

Core i3-6100 vs A6-3670 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-6100 beats the A6-3670 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-3670 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A6-3670 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-6100. Indeed, the A6-3670 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-6100. But they both have the same number of threads. A Core i3-6100 CPU outputs less heat than a A6-3670 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 i3-6100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
