Intel Core i5-6200U vs AMD A6-3620

Core i5-6200U vs A6-3620 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6200U performs better than the A6-3620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-3620 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 i5-6200U. Indeed, the A6-3620 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-6200U. But they both have the same number of threads. A Core i5-6200U 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.

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 i5-6200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
