Intel Core i3-7020U vs AMD A6-3620

Core i3-7020U vs A6-3620 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A6-3620 is faster than the Core i3-7020U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-7020U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A6-3620 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-7020U. Indeed, the A6-3620 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-7020U. But they both have the same number of threads. A Core i3-7020U CPU outputs less heat than a A6-3620 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 i3-7020U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
