A8-4500M vs Core i3-2328M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-2328M beats the A8-4500M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-4500M 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. 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.

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 A8-4500M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
