The active ingredient in Augmentin (co-amoxiclav) that fights infection IS penicillin, so "stronger" is difficult to quantify.
The advantage of Augmentin over penicillin is that it contains potassium clavulanate, which causes a large range of effectiveness against bacteria, including some which are seen as amoxicllin resistant.
