Intel Core i7-8700 vs AMD A6-3650

Core i7-8700 vs A6-3650 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8700 beats the A6-3650 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-3650 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8700 has significantly more cores than the A6-3650. Indeed, the Core i7-8700 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the A6-3650. It also has more threads than the A6-3650. A Core i7-8700 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.

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 i7-8700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
