A8-4500M vs A8-5545M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the A8-5545M is faster than the A8-4500M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-4500M in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the A8-5545M has significantly more cores than the A8-4500M. Indeed, the A8-5545M has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A8-4500M. But they both have the same number of threads. The A8-5545M outputs less heat than A8-4500M 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. Indeed, the A8-4500M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
