A4-3300M vs Pentium 3556U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A4-3300M performs better than the Pentium 3556U. Despite this, the Pentium 3556U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. The Pentium 3556U outputs less heat than A4-3300M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the A4-3300M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
