Stressing the CPU cores.

A6-3650's advantage over the Core i3-2100 rests with the number of physical cores - 4 vs. 2 - and they're put to good use when running a compression benchmark. Performance is decent for a £90 chip, and falls to around 10 per cent below that of an A8-3850.

Continue to hammer the cores and AMD's architecture is faster than the Intel (price) equivalent.
