Intel Core i3-6157U vs AMD A6-3670

Core i3-6157U vs A6-3670 comparison

In our benchmarks, the A6-3670 beats the Core i3-6157U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6157U 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 i3-6157U. Indeed, the A6-3670 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-6157U. But they both have the same number of threads. A Core i3-6157U 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.

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 i3-6157U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
