A8-4500M vs Pentium 2020M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the A8-4500M beats the Pentium 2020M in overall performance. Despite this, the Pentium 2020M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the A8-4500M has more 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.

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.
