A4-9125 vs Core i5-2450M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-2450M beats the A4-9125 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A4-9125 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-2450M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-2450M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A4-9125. A A4-9125 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-2450M CPU because of its 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 A4-9125 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
