Core i5-2410M vs A6-6310 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-2410M is faster than the A6-6310. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-6310 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A6-6310 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i5-2410M has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-2410M has a slightly higher clock speed than the A6-6310. Also, the Core i5-2410M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The A6-6310 outputs less heat than Core i5-2410M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A6-6310 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-2410M

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 i5-2410M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
