Core i7-3610QM vs Athlon Gold 7220U specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3610QM is faster than the Athlon Gold 7220U. Despite this, the Athlon Gold 7220U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-3610QM has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Athlon Gold 7220U that has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Athlon Gold 7220U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon Gold 7220U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3610QM. Also, the Athlon Gold 7220U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Athlon Gold 7220U outputs less heat than Core i7-3610QM thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-3610QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
