A8-5500 vs Athlon X4 760K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Athlon X4 760K is faster than the A8-5500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5500 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.

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 A8-5500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
