Core m3-6Y30 vs Core 2 Duo E6550 comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core m3-6Y30 beats the Core 2 Duo E6550 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core 2 Duo E6550 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core m3-6Y30 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 2 Duo E6550 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core m3-6Y30. A Core m3-6Y30 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E6550 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core 2 Duo E6550 has more L2 cache than the Core m3-6Y30
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 m3-6Y30 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
