A6-5357M vs A8-5550M specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the A6-5357M beats the A8-5550M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5550M in all gaming tests too.
With info from our database, we find that the A8-5550M has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A6-5357M has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the A6-5357M. Our comparison shows that the A6-5357M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the A8-5550M. Also, the A6-5357M has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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.
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 A6-5357M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
