A8-5500 vs Celeron G5905 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Celeron G5905 is faster than the A8-5500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-5500 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the A8-5500 has more threads. The Celeron G5905 outputs less heat than A8-5500 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. 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 A8-5500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
