Core i5-6300HQ vs Athlon II X4 635 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6300HQ beats the Athlon II X4 635 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon II X4 635 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Athlon II X4 635 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-6300HQ.

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