Intel Core i7-920 vs AMD A6-3670

Core i7-920 vs A6-3670 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-920 performs better than the A6-3670. Despite this, the A6-3670 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-920 has more threads. The A6-3670 outputs less heat than Core i7-920 thanks to a slightly 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 i7-920 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
