A10-4655M vs A8-5550M comparison

In our benchmarks, the A10-4655M beats the A8-5550M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5550M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the A8-5550M has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the A10-4655M that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. A A10-4655M CPU outputs less heat than a A8-5550M CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the A10-4655M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
