Core i7-3537U vs A6-5200 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3537U beats the A6-5200 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-5200 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A6-5200 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-3537U. Indeed, the A6-5200 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-3537U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-3537U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A6-5200. A Core i7-3537U CPU outputs less heat than a A6-5200 CPU because of its 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 A6-5200 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-3537U

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. Indeed, the Core i7-3537U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
