Core i7-6600U vs A6-3650 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6600U is faster than the A6-3650. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-3650 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A6-3650 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i7-6600U has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. A Core i7-6600U CPU outputs less heat than a A6-3650 CPU because of its 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. Indeed, the Core i7-6600U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
