Core i5-6300HQ vs PRO A8-8670E comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6300HQ beats the PRO A8-8670E in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the PRO A8-8670E in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the PRO A8-8670E has a slightly higher clock speed compared to 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.
