Intel Core i5-6200U vs AMD A6-6310

Core i5-6200U vs A6-6310 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6200U beats the A6-6310 in overall performance. 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 i5-6200U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6200U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A6-6310. Also, the Core i5-6200U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i5-6200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
