AMD A10-4655M vs Intel Core 2 Duo E8500

A10-4655M vs Core 2 Duo E8500 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core 2 Duo E8500 beats the A10-4655M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-4655M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the A10-4655M has more threads. A A10-4655M CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Duo E8500 CPU because of its significantly 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.
