A10-4655M vs Core 2 Duo E8400 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 2 Duo E8400 is faster than the A10-4655M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-4655M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the A10-4655M has more threads. A A10-4655M CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the A10-4655M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
