AMD A6-3620 vs Intel Core i7-620UE


Mini Review

AMD A6-3620 advantages



AMD A6-3620

  • The A6-3620 includes more CPU cores than the Intel Core i7-620UE. Large number of cores helps this microprocessor to process multiple applications or heavily multi-threaded programs.
  • Operating frequency of the A6-3620 is higher than the frequency of the i7-620UE.
  • The processor supports 3DNow! instructions. Although the 3DNow! instruction set may enhance performance of some old games, it is now obsolete, and it is no longer utilized by modern applications.

A6-3620 vs i7-620UE specifications comparison

The charts below show the difference between Intel i7-620UE and AMD A6-3620 most important characteristics. These features, as well as an IPC (instructions per cycle) number, determine how well a microprocessor performs. The "Number of cores / threads" graph shows the number of cores (darker area). Lighter area on the graph corresponds to the number of additional threads, offered by Hyper-Threading technology. The "Operating frequency" chart uses dark color to represent base frequency, whereas lighter area is for extra frequency, provided by Turbo feature. Darker area on the "On-chip cache" graph is for the On-chip L2 cache. Lighter area is for the L3 cache cache. While the L3 cache cache is usually larger than the On-chip L2 cache, it is always slower.
