Ryzen 3 2200U vs A8-6500 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-6500 is faster than the Ryzen 3 2200U. Despite this, the Ryzen 3 2200U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A8-6500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 3 2200U. Also, the A8-6500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 2200U CPU outputs less heat than a A8-6500 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the A8-6500 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 3 2200U

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 2200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
