AMD Ryzen 5 1600 vs AMD A6-3620

Ryzen 5 1600 vs A6-3620 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1600 is faster than the A6-3620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-3620 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 1600 has significantly more cores than the A6-3620. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1600 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the A6-3620. It also has more threads than the A6-3620. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 Ryzen 5 1600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
