Operating frequency of the A6-4400M is higher than the frequency of the Intel Core i3-2100T.
The AMD A6-4400M has AES technology, used to accelerate AES encryption and decryption. The instructions are useful if you run applications, that secure your disk or network data.
This CPU includes F16C, FMA4 and XOP instructions. These extensions are not widely used by programs yet, however their support should improve in future apps.
The microprocessor supports FMA3 instruction set extension. The FMA3 technology is only offered on AMD CPUs, therefore not many software vendors may support it in the future.

Intel Core i3-2100T advantages

The Intel Core i3-2100T integrates Hyper-Threading feature, which allows this processor to process twice as many threads.

A6-4400M vs i3-2100T specifications comparison

The graphs below compare the most important features of the Intel i3-2100T and A6-4400M microprocessors. These characteristics, along with an IPC (instructions per cycle) number, determine how well a CPU performs. The "Number of cores / threads" graph displays the number of cores (darker area). Lighter area on the graph corresponds to the number of additional threads, provided by Hyper-Threading technology. The "Operating frequency" chart uses dark color to represent base frequency, while 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. Although the L3 cache cache is usually larger than the On-chip L2 cache, it is always slower.
