Core i5-6440HQ vs A6-5200 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6440HQ beats the A6-5200 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-5200 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-6440HQ has a slightly higher clock speed than the A6-5200. The A6-5200 outputs less heat than Core i5-6440HQ thanks to a 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 i5-6440HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
