A10-4655M vs Core i3-550 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A10-4655M is faster than the Core i3-550. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-550 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. A A10-4655M CPU outputs less heat than a Core i3-550 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.
