Intel Core i5-9400 vs AMD A6-6310

Core i5-9400 vs A6-6310 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-9400 performs better than the A6-6310. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-6310 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-9400 has significantly more cores than the A6-6310. Indeed, the Core i5-9400 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the A6-6310. It also has more threads than the A6-6310. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-9400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the A6-6310. Also, the Core i5-9400 has a significantly higher turbo speed. The A6-6310 outputs less heat than Core i5-9400 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the A6-6310 has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i5-9400

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 i5-9400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
