Intel Core i7-6700HQ vs AMD A6-3620

Core i7-6700HQ vs A6-3620 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-6700HQ performs better than the A6-3620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-3620 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-6700HQ has more threads. A Core i7-6700HQ CPU outputs less heat than a A6-3620 CPU because of its 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 i7-6700HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
