A6-9500 vs A8-5545M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-5545M is faster than the A6-9500. Despite this, the A6-9500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A8-5545M has significantly more cores than the A6-9500. Indeed, the A8-5545M has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A6-9500. It also has more threads than the A6-9500. The A8-5545M outputs less heat than A6-9500 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 A6-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
