AMD A8-4500M vs Intel Core i3-4005U

A8-4500M vs Core i3-4005U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the A8-4500M beats the Core i3-4005U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4005U 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. The Core i3-4005U 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.
