A6-5200 vs A8-5545M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-5545M is faster than the A6-5200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-5200 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. The A8-5545M outputs less heat than A6-5200 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 A6-5200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
