A6-3670 vs A8-5500 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A6-3670 beats the A8-5500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5500 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A6-3670 has significantly more cores than the A8-5500. Indeed, the A6-3670 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A8-5500. But they both have the same number of threads. The A8-5500 outputs less heat than A6-3670 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 A6-3670 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
