A10-4655M vs Core i3-3217U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-3217U performs better than the A10-4655M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A10-4655M in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. The Core i3-3217U outputs less heat than A10-4655M thanks to a 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.
