A10-4655M vs Core i7-8500Y comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8500Y is faster than the A10-4655M. Despite this, the A10-4655M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. The Core i7-8500Y 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.
