A8-4500M vs Pentium N4200 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the A8-4500M performs better than the Pentium N4200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Pentium N4200 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Pentium N4200 has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the A8-4500M has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. The Pentium N4200 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the A8-4500M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
