A6-6400K vs A8-4500M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A6-6400K beats the A8-4500M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-4500M in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the A8-4500M has significantly more cores with 2 cores whereas the A6-6400K has 1 cores. It also has more threads than the A6-6400K. The A8-4500M outputs less heat than A6-6400K 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. Indeed, the A6-6400K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
