A6-5357M vs Core i7-8500Y benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8500Y beats the A6-5357M in overall performance. Despite this, the A6-5357M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-8500Y has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the A6-5357M has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8500Y. Despite this, the Core i7-8500Y has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-8500Y outputs less heat than A6-5357M thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the A6-5357M has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
