Core i5-6300HQ vs A6-3670 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6300HQ is faster than the A6-3670. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-3670 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. A Core i5-6300HQ 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.

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. For instance, the Core i5-6300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
