A6-9500 vs Celeron G550 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Celeron G550 beats the A6-9500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A6-9500 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the A6-9500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Celeron G550. 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. In terms of cache, the A6-9500 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Celeron G550

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 A6-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
