AMD A6-5200 vs Intel Core i7-8500Y

A6-5200 vs Core i7-8500Y benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A6-5200 performs better than the Core i7-8500Y. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8500Y in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A6-5200 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i7-8500Y has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A6-5200 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8500Y. The Core i7-8500Y outputs less heat than A6-5200 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 A6-5200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
