A4-9125 vs Core i7-5500U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-5500U beats the A4-9125 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A4-9125 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-5500U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-5500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A4-9125. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the A4-9125 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-5500U

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. For instance, the A4-9125 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
