Core i3-6100 vs Athlon II X4 635 comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i3-6100 beats the Athlon II X4 635 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon II X4 635 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Athlon II X4 635 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-6100. Indeed, the Athlon II X4 635 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-6100. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-6100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Athlon II X4 635. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Athlon II X4 635 has significantly more L2 cache than 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.
